I’ve been a certified Athletic Trainer for 8 years working in sports and healthcare for both amateur and professional athletes. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, playing or attending a basketball game, and outdoor activities such as hiking or tailgating for a football game. What I love about StretchLab is the family vibe I feel on a daily basis as well as the diverse background amongst the other Flexologists. Both of these factors help curate a fun environment where I can continue to learn and grow as a clinician.
