2. What did you want to be when you grew up?
I originally wanted to be a high school physical education teacher and athletic trainer. My ultimate dream back then was to work for a professional basketball team...taping Michael Jordan's ankles!!
3. What made you decide to become a physical therapy assistant?
I went to the University of Northern Colorado immediately after high school. The freedom of my parents living 50 miles away was not the strict environment that I was accustomed to and my 18 year-old self didn't know how to act. I decided to join the Air Force. My sister was a recruiter in the Air Force so it made it an easy decision. I had a choice between working as a radiology tech or physical therapist assistant. I chose PTA and have never regretted it.
