I came to Lakeland in the fall of 2007 as a Graduate Assistant athletic trainer. I worked for Lakeland as an Athletic Trainer while receiving my Masters in Counseling. I had a wonderful two years at Lakeland. While working for the athletic department at Lakeland, I had many wonderful experiences. Nothing was greater than working with the undergraduate athletes and students. To watch them grow was amazing. I had the best professors throughout my master's program. Lakeland was a wonderful experience for me and I am so happy I chose to get my masters at Lakeland.
