Responsibilities

I lead patients and clients through exercises and workouts, I lead classes through warm-up and balance and stability work, I work with patients and clients individually through designed programs

Accomplishments

My greatest accomplishment was creating the balance and stability program for the senior class at my internship site. They love the program and continue to do it even outside the facility. They are always excited to do the program and I look foward to leading it every Monday with the senior class.

Learning experience

The greatest lessons I’ve learned was to communicate. It has benefited me so much and such a small skill was finally improved for the most part. I said things I didn’t even know I knew and it increased my confidence greatly.

What advice would you give?

The advice I have for future students is to use your voice. Because I started to speak more, I began to explain things in detail and everyone loved it. Also, I know it is started to work because people, at the end of classes, started to say how they’ve learned a lot by just talking to me and receiving information on exercises.
