What makes you different from others in your field: My background. I come from a different undergraduate background. I have been on the side of the company that trains athletes. So moving to the management side will help me know what kind of people and what kind of trainers or coaches that I would want working for the organization. I also believe that I am a hard worker and a go-getter. I want to succeed and will do whatever is asked of me to help myself get there.
