My time as a Personal Training at PAC was fun as well as a learning curve, it being my first time doing Personal Training. It taught me the value of timely workouts based on client's needs/wants, staying flexible, and being patient. Some of my workload involved:

  • Applying health and fitness experience and education in crafting the classes I taught: Bodyweight Upset, Build and Blast Boot camp, Chair Yoga, and Water Aerobics.

Third Grade Teacher

Marcus Pointe Baptist Church
Pensacola, FL
08.2016 - 05.2017

I taught third grade at Marcus Pointe Christian School. It was about 40 hours per week at school and then work completed after school and at home.

I planned lessons, taught all classwork material, graded students on assignments including tests, quizzes, and projects.

I organized field trips one of which was gathering gifts for children with cancer at Sacred Heart Children's Hospital. We brought the gifts to the hospital children's lobby and sang Christmas carols. At the end of the year was a spring production where my class performed a "Weather Rap" that we created ourselves and performed before the school family.

  • Administered tests and assessed results to evaluate student understanding of material.
  • Taught students subject-specific material, learning strategies and social and citizenship skills.
  • Involved parents in student education by cultivating strong relationships.

When I first started with the Wahoos it was for part of my class work for my Bachelors degree. I completed 40 hours working in the Box Office which included: walking around with the mascot at the mall passing out flyers to promote the new baseball league, answering phone calls, helping season ticket holders manage ticket redistribution, handling ticket payment over the phone or in the Box Office window. I was able to learn first hand the excitement of working for a minor league baseball team that opened up the year that I began interning there. I learned customer service front line experience working usually 3 or 4 games a homestand!
