Current Workplace:

Los Fresnos High School

How long have you been in the field, and where did you complete your education?

3 years, Bachelor's degree at UTRGV & Master's degree at Tarleton State University

Why did you choose this profession?

This profession is two categories that I love, both sports and healthcare.

What skills do you think are most important for an AT to develop?

The skills that in my opinion are most important for an AT to develop are staying up to date on research articles, learning from fellow AT's, attending seminars, and placing yourself in situations that are out of your comfort zone.

What is your favorite part of the job?

My favorite part of the job is the close relationships I build with athletes while rehabilitating them back to their sport, especially with athletes who have sustained a season ending injury and seeing that athlete come back to their sport.

What’s your mantra or favorite quote?

"Going through things you never thought you'd go through will only take you places you never thought you'd get to."

-Morgan Harper Nichols

Who are some of your biggest influencers both personally and professionally?

Some of my biggest influencers are all my former preceptors and professors from both UTRGV & Tarleton State.

Do you have any advice for other ATs or students contemplating a career in Athletic Training?

Stay committed to the grind because your hard work will be noticed.
