My job is to help people with their flexibility and mobility by stretching them. I also gave intro stretches where we would sell memberships and am currently giving classes on how to excel in sales. Most of the people working there are trained in exercise science, not sales or communication, and so my training in sales is very useful.

While it didn't last long due to the commute, and the fact that I was hired at Stretchlab, I still gave group classes three days a week in boxing and MMA. This would include going through a warm up stretch at the beginning, several rounds on the heavy bag, and intense core workout, and then a cooldown stretch. One of the classes was for kids under ten.

My job was going door to door and getting people to sign up for consultations to see if they could get government subsidized solar installations. This is where I learned sales as well as administrative knowledge of how companies run and how they could be improved.

I would give one on one personal training sessions to people. This was both in people's homes and at their apartment or complex gyms. I would develop personalized programs depending on what their goals were, their current level of fitness or age, and what equipment they had available to them. My clients ranged from early twenties to early sixties and I learned how to be creative and innovative in making exercise fun no matter what you had available to you.

While in college, I worked as an assistant to Doctor Allen Keller, a renowned physician and human rights advocate who works at NYU. During college, I did research for a legal case he was working on for a class action lawsuit to bring reparations to victims of a genocide and got to watch him in action as he cared for the victims.

My job as the assistant coach for several varsity teams was to run the workouts six days a week. This was while I was a senior in high school for JV teams, and then for Varsity teams while I was in college. I worked with teams of varying sizes and had to design workouts around specific needs for each team.
