Why did you choose the Athletic Training Education Program at UNI?

I chose Athletic Training as my major mostly out of my love for sports and also because of the opportunity to work with people. The reason that I chose UNI's program was because of the great placement percentage that they have and the great athletic success that they have accomplished.

Have there been any healthcare professionals who have mentored or inspired you?

I was inspired by a physician at the recent UNI open wrestling tournament. I had the oppotunity to help him stitch up an eye and I was impressed with the professional way that the procedure was performed.

 

What field experiences have you enjoyed the most and found the most rewarding?

My recent work with the softball and swimming teams at UNI was the most exciting field experience that I have had during a field experience yet. I had a great time learning with the athletes and doing a few shoulder e-vals. The case studies that I had the oppotunity to work on were also very rewarding and a great learning oppotunity.

Any advice or tips for incoming students or other interested persons?

My advice would be to jump right in and do anything that you can. Don't hang back and watch too much because you will learn a lot more if you get involved and ask questions.

What are future plans after UNI?

I look to go on and get my Masters in Athletic Training somewhere and to eventually end up practicing at a
Division 1 university.
