Why Did You Become a Massage Therapist?
"I became a massage therapist for several reasons. One of them was from being downsized by corporate America. I wanted to look for another career where I was valued as a person rather than just a number. Another reason, since I compete as a longboard racer and a runner, I wanted to learn more about how to fix myself from potential muscle aches and pain. For those reasons (and learning how the body functions), I applied the knowledge of bodywork to help others with their own muscle issues."
What Motivates You?Â
"It may sound funny, but I like superheroes; I just don't wear a uniform. I pretend I'm a superhero and "rescue" people from their muscle aches. As massage therapists, we strive to do our very best in bodywork - that is why we, as massage therapists, can be superheroes too."
What is your Most Memorable Moment?
"The most memorable moment was when I was selected to be a resident massage therapist for the cast of Hamilton. 'I am not throwing away my shot.'"
