I am a dedicated and energetic professional with a diverse background in customer service, food preparation, and a passion for fitness. Having worked as both a server and a cook at several fast-paced restaurants, I developed strong communication, time management, and teamwork skills. My ability to stay organized and perform well under pressure has prepared me for the dynamic, client-focused environment of personal training. Through my hands-on experience in a fast-paced kitchen, I’ve developed a deep understanding of health-conscious food preparation and nutrition, which I am excited to incorporate into personalized fitness programs. My enthusiasm for fitness, combined with my practical experience in a customer-oriented setting, gives me the unique ability to inspire and motivate others to achieve their fitness goals. I’m now seeking to transition into a career as a personal trainer where I can leverage my background in health, nutrition, and customer service to help clients live healthier, more active lives.
