My name is Kaitlyn Blanchette, and I am currently a student at Washingtonville High School and the Orange-Ulster BOCES Career and Technical Education Center in the Personal Training Assistant program. I chose to study this field because I feel that health and fitness are some of the most important elements of life. I believe my strongest skills are organization, communication, adapting to new situations, and having patience with others. I’ve become a very patient person through my current job which is babysitting. My future plans include graduating high school in June of 2017, graduating from BOCES with honors, earning my certification in personal training, and attending college.
