What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my skills in health and wellness while fostering a positive team culture and opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Psychology student at National University, specializing as a Behavior Change Specialist and Corrective Exercise Specialist. My journey in health and wellness has been fueled by a genuine passion for helping others achieve their fitness and wellness goals. With years of personal experience in caregiving and patient advocacy, I bring a caring nature and a commitment to continuous learning.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in fitness training, client relationships, and community engagement. As a Certified Personal Trainer, I conduct fitness assessments and educate clients on nutrition tailored to their individual needs. My experience as a photographer has also allowed me to creatively express stories through visual art, further enhancing my ability to connect with clients and communities.

I thrive in team environments and am eager to contribute to team success while further developing my professional skills. I believe in the power of positive attitudes and teamwork to drive meaningful change in the health and wellness sector.
