What inspired you to become an Athletic Therapist?
Going in to my grade 12 year in high school they started to offer a class called Sports Medicine. Since I was injured quite a but growing up I thought it would be a neat class to take. I instantly knew that I wanted to be an Athletic Therapist after hearing about what the profession was. I love the idea of being a part of a team, even after retiring from sports and being able to help people feel better in the medical field.
