What has gaining an educational scholarship with FIA

knowledge and experience onto everyday people who need assistance in improving
their quality of life.
What courses have you completed with FIA
so far?
I am currently completing my Certificate III in Fitness and cannot wait to start on
Certificate IV in Fitness - Personal Trainer course.
Why did you want to complete this type of study and how
do you think you will use it?
Ever since getting involved in the sporting world I have loved every minute of it.
When leaving school I was never sure of what I really wanted to do but since
getting involved in exercising (sports) due to rehabilitation, I found it to be my
calling. I wish to pursue it professionally and eventually work within a sporting
institute, gym or even within hospitals working with disabled people, elderly or
children.

scholarship are you also engaged in other work or study?
Not at this stage just training full time.
What are your career goals after sport?
At the completion of my professional sporting career I would like to continue to
pursue a career within the sporting community as a personal trainer marketing or
nutrition fields.
