Kelly Alamilla

Kelly Alamilla graduated from D74 at the Salt Lake Campus of the Utah College of Massage Therapy Family of Schools in December of 2002. Soon after graduation, and with a little hard work and determination, Kelly landed an independent contractor position at a fitness center in Salt Lake City. She recently sent the Career Services Department the following letter:

"My name is Kelly Alamilla and I’m a massage therapist. I graduated from UCMT in December 2002. In the last quarter of school, I started applying to spas. Nothing came of my phone calls and sent out resumes. Once I graduated, I went back to my job part-time so I could pursue a career in massage. I continued making phone calls to several spas and sending out my resume. Nothing seemed to be a positive lead and I was still working at my old job. Finally, one day I was driving around looking for any type of massage work and I passed by a gym called Cove Health and Fitness and I stopped to ask about any available massage positions. It so happened [that] their massage therapist had quit and they were looking for a new massage therapist. I interviewed with them and got the position. I’m now an independent contractor and working towards building my clientele. Just today, I told my boss at my part-time job I was quitting and gave my two weeks notice. I’m excited to start a new career as a massage therapist. It just goes to show, hard work and determination pay off."
