We are proud to introduce our featured January Instructor. Patrina Anthony is an incredible gift to our program.
1. Why do you volunteer with Bloom?
I volunteer because I’m always willing to learn new things but volunteering with Bloom gives me great pleasure to know that this program is dedicated only to the IDD adult population.
2. When you’re not volunteering with Bloom, what is your day job?
I am the Program Coordinator for The Harris Center Day Program. I also oversee Employment Services for the IDD population with the Harris Center, and supervise IDD case managers at the Gessner location.
3. What is your favorite song on your teaching playlist?
I have several, but the one that stands out for me is “I just wanna be me”, and EVERYONE loves it!
4. What is the most memorable moment you’ve had while teaching?
Watching all the individuals grow in all areas of their life, i.e. being responsible, displaying dedication, loyalty. They have become very supportive of their fellow athlete.
5. What is your biggest wish for the athletes of Bloom?
That they can be that next famous sports trainer and that they can win every race they run as long as they try.
Thank you Patrina for everything you do!
