Lauren

Rehab Technician

Hi, I’m Lauren and I’m wicked excited to be a part of the OP team! I graduated from the University of Tampa with a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training. While at the University of Tampa, I gained extensive experience as a student Athletic Trainer, working with both the indoor and beach volleyball teams. While working with Tampa’s indoor team I was able to experience winning an NCAA national championship from a support staff perspective, being with the team through the ups and downs of the whole season and watching them come out on top reminded me why I chose athletic training. During my time in Tampa, I also worked with a local high school football team. There I was able to use my skills and knowledge in sports injury prevention and rehabilitation. I was able to gain insight into athletic training in a high school setting.

As a lifelong athlete, I understand the demands and challenges faced by athletes. I was a cheerleader at the University of Tampa, where I was a part of the 2021 NCA Collegiate National Championship team. This firsthand experience as an athlete gives me a unique perspective and empathy when I work with patients. During my free time, I enjoy traveling, relaxing on the beach, and painting.
