My grad school experience in a nutshell: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." (James1:2-6)

About Kimmy

• Hobbies: Triathlon, outdoor activities,building my relationship with God, church activities, playing my guitar
• Things I miss most about Eugene: biking everywhere, air that you can't see, light traffic, chill places to hang out like Rogue Brewery and McMenamins, Susan, the HPHY department, Oregon football, Calvary Fellowship, people aren't in such a hurry all the time.
• Favorite color: Blue
• Things I love: God, a warm sunny day and warm summer evenings, the beach, laughing, friends, ice cream, singing, music, Amy, family, scaring people, running on the beach, riding through the mountains, swimming when I'm in shape, dogs...I could go on but I'll spare you.
• Skills: nunchuck skills, bow fighting skills...no for real: I have impressive toe dexterity and I do a killer Mary Katherine Gallagher impression.
• Aspirations: To change the future of our profession through involving, motivating, and encouraging young professionals and building up our profession. To live out what I feel is my ministry: to let my light of encouragement and love shine in every situation so that athletic trainers find themselves empowered and motivated to invest in this profession make it as great as it can be.
