Summary
I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan-Flint with honors distinction, currently seeking employment close to home while working toward becoming a Social Studies teacher. I pride myself on my friendliness and my willingness to help others, two qualities that I think both fit perfectly at Planet Fitness. I myself have a Black Card and have been using the facilities for about a month, and now I would love to help cultivate the judgment-free zone that I have personally enjoyed here in Lapeer.
