It's Personal:  "Athletic training is the career I have always known I wanted to have since I was in high school. I had an athletic trainer that turned into a mentor; I base a lot of how I practice after how he taught me. I think all of the kids as "mine". It is not just about caring for their injuries, but as a whole person. I want each and every athlete who walks into our athletic training facility to know that they are cared for - with whole hearts."
