While in school, I had the opportunity to pursue my professional goals in many valuable events like helping at the Badger State games, working with the Duluth Lumberjacks indoor football team, working with the Division III cross country championships and the Division III Men’s Hockey Championships. After leaving school, I received an opportunity to pursue my professional career in Athletic Training at Park Avenue Therapies in Cloquet, MN.
