How long have you been working at Rabun Gap?

I have been at Rabun Gap for 10 years.

 

I felt Rabun Gap would give me the opportunity to truly serve as an Athletic Trainer and grow in those skills.  Choosing to work at Rabun Gap would allow me to work with students all the time.  

 

I worked at PT clinic for seven years and provided outreach to Franklin High School.

 

Working with students from all over the world and alongside some great people. Rabun Gap allows me to be on a similar schedule as my family.  

 

I really enjoy it.  I get to see my son play when I walk to lunch and my daughter when I go see athletes at the middle school.

 

I have always been interested in the body and how things work.  I love being around sports, so this job provides me with both.  I really enjoy helping people.  

 

I love being a dorm parent because it allows me to interact with students outside of our typical settings.  

 

What do you like most about working with our students?  

The students can be funny and they are from all over the world.  

I really enjoy singing.
