I am currently a first-year PhD student in Biomechanics and research assistant in the Wisconsin Injury in Sport Lab at UW-Madison.  I believe that triathlon is supplemental to my success in other areas in my life such as academics and career. A lot of this blog will mention my professional journey as well as my triathlon endeavors. My background is in athletic training and public health. I feel that athletic trainers can play a larger role in disease and injury prevention. As professional health care providers, we need to advocate so we have a place at the table when decisions are being made, especially regarding musculoskeletal injuries, sport nutrition, concussions, and heat illness. I believe that with a background in rehabilitation research, public health, and athletic training, I will be able to further my passion for injury prevention and rehabilitation with classwork and research experience in Biomechanics. I believe that my strengths—inquisitiveness, commitment, excitement, willingness to learn, and accomplishing a goal no matter the adversity—are well-suited for this level of education and will be helpful in this profession of athletic training. At KSU I worked as graduate assistant athletic trainer with the cross country and track and field team. With a total of 82 athletes as well as working as a teaching assistant, I have really enjoyed teaching students about athletic training and how to better their bodies. In addition to working as a certified athletic trainer and being a full time graduate student, I have enjoyed pushing my body to new limits in the world of endurance sports. I want to be able to help and educate other people who wish to be active in their lives and inspire them with my story as well.

About us

You may not always have a group to train with, or a coach, or a convenient time to get those miles in, but you can do it anyway. I didn't feel like an athlete until I personally made time for my workouts, until it was just my self-motivation urging me to do something. If you set a goal for yourself, you can accomplish whatever you set out to do!
