About Me
Currently, I’m living in Houston, Texas where I work as an athletic trainer for a Class 5A high school in one of the biggest school districts in the state. I’m originally from Martinsville, Virginia. I received a soccer scholarship to attend Concord University in Athens, West Virginia where I received my Bachelors of Science in athletic training. I have big plans in the sports industry; I have already done much in the world of athletic training, where I have experienced each level: high school, college and professional. One of my favorite memories is when I interned with the Seattle Seahawks the summer before my senior year of undergraduate. Because of this experience, I now hold the Seahawks as one of “my teams.” Also, recently I obtain a Marketing Associate job with the Houston Rockets, which I will gain value experience on the professional level. As far as my personal life, I recently married my best friend this past July and she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. She is one of the biggest fans of sports I’ve ever met, so it’s enjoyable to spend time watching and playing sports. As far as what I like to take part in, I really enjoy competing and training for triathlons. Triathletes, I believe are some of the fittest athletes on the planet. I am fascinated with the discipline and the dedication each of the triathletes display with the time and effort they put into their sport. Additionally, I continue playing soccer, my main sport on a recreational basis in leagues around Houston. Overall, I am a fan of sports and passionate to help student-athletes achieve their goals.
After almost 10 years of discovering and pursuing the athletic training field, I have landed a position in one of the biggest school districts in Texas, working with some of the states’ finest high school athletes and football players. I truly enjoy being an athletic trainer, especially because I am able to lend a hand in preparing athletes to compete in the sport they love and assist in the general morale of each team I work with. In addition, I am able to teach aspiring students the elements of my career, how to perfect them and use the integrity of a health professional in other areas of life.
