Working at the deTornyay Center for Healthy Aging, I have assisted with the development of a community Wellness Network pilot project. My primary responsibility has been outcome measure review and selection, with a focus on identifying common data elements that can be harmonized with larger, longitudinal studies.

Working with Dr. Hilaire Thompson and Dr. Ellen McGough, I was responsible for collecting and analyzing data related to physical outcome measures and balance, using the performance oriented mobility assessment (POMA) and the GAITRite walking mat. My primary roles involved traveling to participants' homes to collect physical performance and interview data, data organization and management, and final data analysis and summary.

As a Personal Fitness Trainer, I work prescribe exercise programs suited to each individual clients' needs. My overall goal for each client is to provide them with the strength, stability, and confidence to take on any challenge, whether physical or not. Through personal programs, I focus on proper mechanics and trunk stability with a wide range of exercises in my arsenal. I also have the unique opportunity to create and implement programs for the Outdoor Recreation Department. This allows me to apply my training in the gym to real world situations (such as tripping on a root while hiking but having the proper agility to catch yourself and continue hiking).

As I physical therapy aide, I worked closely with the physical therapist, assisting them as needed. This often included taking my expertise as a personal trainer and applying them in the clinic. I was responsible for taking patients through exercise programs prescribed by the physical therapist, ensuring that the patients were using proper form. Part of my position was also to assist with the administrative duties such as new patient input and scheduling.
