Describe your previous role with Miami Recreation.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>
\n

I was part of the inaugural staff and it was so exciting! I had never seen a building so beautiful. It was very cutting edge even in today’s standards. When I started, I worked the front desk, but when I ended, I was a Fitness Center Supervisor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What does health, wellness and recreation mean to you and why is it important in your life?<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>
\n

The knowledge and values that I gained at Miami University are unparalleled. I have continued in the health and wellness field and have worked for companies including Planet Fitness, Stretch Zone, XPonential Fitness and SweatHouz currently. I enjoy helping others on their wellness journey and seeing the transformational results and hearing the life changing stories from those I have helped along the way.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What do you do to recreate, live well, and have fun?<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>
\n

I stretch daily and use Contrast Therapy (Sauna+Cold Plunge) 3-5 times a week. I love anything outdoors including going to the beach, short hikes, and spending time with family.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

It was a collective effort and I learned from everyone that I came in contact with. I gained so many skill sets that have enabled me to advance my career. I will forever hold a special place in my heart for Miami University and the Recreational Center.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

I remember walking in the Miami Recreation Center as it was being built and it was the most beautiful building that I had ever been in at the time. I can still recall the smell and the feeling of awe and wonder that came upon me. As I type, I am taken back to that day. A smile is coming across my face and I feel nostalgic. Thank you!! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
