What has been your favorite experience while being in the MS-AT program? My favorite experience in the MSAT program is being able to provide rehabilitation for athletes who want to return to play. Whether it’s redefining movement or overcoming an injury, it has been rewarding seeing my athletes make progress while gaining memorable relationships along the way. What advice would you give someone that’s looking to join our MS-AT program? My advice for someone who wants to join the MS-AT program is to always be confident in yourself and don’t be afraid of making mistakes.

Where do you want to work in the future? I would like to work for a university or a clinic in Milwaukee.

What one interesting fact you’ve learned while in class? One interesting fact that I have learned while in class is that creatine supplementation can be effective for reducing the severity of mild traumatic brain injuries.
