What inspired you to become an Athletic Therapist?
I wasn't sure which direction I wanted to go in after my personal training diploma from NAIT. So when the Blue Jays organization hired a female head Athletic Trainer, I was inspired to pursue Athletic Therapy.
What is the one piece of advice you wish every client knew?
Understand that pain is not normal. Pain is the body's way of telling us that something is not right. Individual's do not need to live with pain.
What do people find most surprising about AT?
We don't just tape athletes on the sideline but we can actually rehab an individual suffering from an acute injury to a chronic injury. Our scope is much larger than expected.
