What inspired you to become an Athletic Therapist?
I've always had a love for sports and wanted to find a way to stay involved with teams. I got into the profession for the field aspect and fell in love with the clinic/treating once I was actually in school.
What is the one piece of advice you wish every client knew?
It's not all about the modalities - strive to move/perform better!
What do people find most surprising about AT?
That we actually rehab everyday injuries! People are surprised when I tell them anyone can see an Athletic Therapist and always come back saying they wished they'd found an AT sooner.
Describe your proudest moment or greatest success as an AT
My greatest successes are always the first game back after a significant injury (ACL tears, dislocations, etc.). I'm on the edge of my seat the whole time and nothing beats the smile and satisfaction you see in your athlete at the end of the game.
Share a little known fun fact about yourself
I grew up in Southeast Asia.
