Annie Rotundo

Rye, NY      Age 24     HF Member  2 years

After graduating Siena College in 2009, it was only natural for Annie to begin the next step in furthering her education. She had always known that she wanted to work in a school but was now ready to explore the different directions her passion for education could take her. In the fall of 2009 she enrolled in Manhattan College’s Graduate Program where she also worked as a grad assistant for the Dean of Students.

A former high school athlete – she was always active but after 4 years of college life, Annie was more than ready to get back into shape. Shortly after graduating Siena she moved home and joined Healthy Fit. “I really had no excuse, I could come before work or after class and found myself getting into a routine” she says. “This fall while finishing my masters thesis, working out was the only thing that kept me sane!” While taking classes Annie has created bonds and developed motivational networks that have aided in this transitional time in her life. “I’ve never had as much energy as I do now and am hoping to kick it up a notch before summer! If I’m feeling unmotivated, I know taking a class will give me that extra push.”
