Hardin Sports Medicine-Therapy Manager

I've worked at Hardin Sports Medicine and Performance for 8 years and during those years I have treated athletes from all walks of life, from middle school aged athletes to professional and Olympic athletes. Being a former athlete myself, along with earning a BS degree in Athletic Training allows me to empathize with my athletes and understand the soreness from acute and overuse injuries. In addition to receiving a degree in Athletic Training; I've also completed certifications in Active Release Technique (ART) and Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab (FAKTR)
