Why Mount Mary?
“I came to MMU fresh out of college as a new clinician looking to secure my first Athletic Training position. Mount Mary has been an excellent opportunity to build my confidence, expand my knowledge, and fine tune my skills. I enjoy the teamwork that athletics brings, the respect from athletes and staff, and the rapport that I have gained over the short time being here. Lastly, it was great to feel welcomed with open arms into the close knit community of MMU.”
