My name is Avery Shoemaker and I am currently a freshman at East Tennessee State University. I graduated from Lenoir City High School in Lenoir City, Tennessee in May of 2024. I currently major in Kinesiology with a concentration in exercise science. I then plan on entering East Tennessee State University’s doctorate level Physical Therapy program to receive my doctorate of Physical Therapy. I am passionate about this career because it allows me to blend my enthusiasm for helping others with my interest about how the human body heals and moves. Seeing the way in which personalized treatment can restore the strength and confidence of an individual motivates me to continue studying, growing, and making a difference in people's lives. I am a hard worker, dedicated, reliable, also very versatile, and willing to accept new challenges as they may come.
I contributed to a clean and hygienic environment by maintaining the cleanliness of tanning beds and rooms after each use. Utilized knowledge of tanning products and skin types to tailor customers' tanning experiences. I also ensured to resolve any customer complaints or issues professionally, ensuring a positive outcome for both the client and the salon. I also educated clients on health and safety of tanning facilities and procedures. This job gave me interpersonal skills and the ability to work with clients and build close-knit personal relationships. I am currently enrolled as a student at ETSU and work here during the school semester until it comes to a close.
