  Fitness Coordinator

  Managed all aspects of the fitness program at the South Dakota State University Miller Wellness Center. Supervised the Fitness Graduate Assistant. Also worked directly with student and community member group fitness instructors, student personal trainers, and student fitness attendants. Responsible for fitness budget, revenue generation, and equipment purchases. Administrative role was coupled with instructing fitness classes as necessary, providing instruction for ACE personal training course, 1:1 or small group personal training, and serving as a student liaison. During times of transition, I oversaw the aquatics program, including hiring and training lifeguards, WSI (water safety instructors), and scheduling lessons and private use of the pool. Prior to hiring a facilities coordinator, I was directly in charge of facility reservations, ranging from private events and birthday parties to group reservations of gyms and studios. Was also indirectly in charge of two grad assistants during this time. In addition to my role in the Wellness Center, I worked closely with the Healthy Lifestyles Living and Learning Community.
