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

I’m a first year AT! I completed both my degrees from Angelo State University.

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

Time management and compassion for all! 

What is your favorite part of the job?

My favorite part of the job is definitely getting to know my student athletes better. These kids say the funniest things.

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

Some of my biggest influencers professionally would be my professors each showing my qualities of good ATs and personally would be both of my younger sisters. 

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

My advice would be to strive for a work-life harmony! Life will change and trying to balance everything can cause more harm than good!
