Hi everyone! My name is Ali Spare, and I'm excited to be a part of the first MSAT cohort! I'm from Santa Clarita, CA, and outside of athletic training, I love going to the beach, finding new food places, and being with friends and family. My favorite food is tacos, but pesto pasta is a close second. As soon as I was introduced to athletic training, I feel in love with it. This field offers many diverse exeriences with incredible athletes from all levels of competition. What I love about the MSAT program is how knowledgeable and caring the faculty and preceptors are! It's been a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to see what the future holds!
My name is Alex Blokdyk, and I am from Yorba Linda, California. I graduated with my Bachelors in Kinesiology Exercise Science from Fresno State. I decided to pursue a career in Athletic Training due to my love for sports and my desire to be part of a team! My hobbies include snowboarding, wakeboarding, and dirt bike riding. I would say that I am an adrenaline junkie, and I love to do stuff that makes me feel alive! So far, I love the SDSU MSAT program, and I am looking forward to my future experiences! Go Aztecs!
I am Jose Martinez, I am from Temecula, CA. I chose athletic training as a career path beause I am interested in athletics and healthcare. This career combined the two. I also like how versatile it is, with the ability to work in many different settings. The MSAT program at SDSU has a tremendous staff that has shown to be dedicated to providing the best learning experience possible. In my free time, I am active with my children, get outside the house and run around with them. My favorite food is Mexican food, and we have the best in the world here in Southern California. I am an avid sports fan of all Los Angeles teams, so when I'm not studying or active with my kids, I am watching a game for whatever season it happens to be.
I'm Natalie, and I'm from Calexico, CA. Being just 5 minutes away from Mexico, it was easy for me to grow up playing my softball tournaments internationally. I played international softball during childhood and adolescence, traveling to places like the Dominican Republic, Panama, Venezuela, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. I went to play Division 2 softball in Springfield, Missouri, which is where my eagerness to learn about athletic training began. My athleticism, dedication, and passion drove me to continue pursuing a career in sports medicine. As a college athlete, my athletic trainers taught me the importance to train and rehabilitate to keep you strong and healthy for competition. I like athletic training because you share the same eagerness as the athlete to help them evolve, physically and mentally, get strong, improve their performance. Aside from softball and school, I spend most of my time at the gym, going on hikes, or at the beach. Most of my favorite foods are Mexicn dishes like carne asada tacos, sopes, birria, flautas, and the list goes one.
My name is Madeline Strom, and I am from Sebastopol out in Northern California! What I like most about athletic training is the ability to provide quality healthcare to such diverse populations and work in various dynamic environments. What I appreciate the most about the MSAT program is the dedication of the instructors to us students and our learning experience. This relationship creates an enjoyable and exciting learning environment that truly benefits everyone! In my spare time, I enjoy being out in nature, whether at the beach or going out in nature, whether at the beach or going on a hike. However, I'm also a big fan of a night in with a movie and some friends! My favorite food would be any pizza, and my favorite sports team is the Golden State Warriors!
My name is Peter Lee, and I am from San Francisco. Athletic training is an amazing profession, and I njoy the combination of health care and sports. I grew up with sports and, through my undergraduate discovered how interesting the human body was, which sparked my interest in athletic training. The athletic training environment is passionatem competitive, and familt-based, which matches well with me. We are the first cohort for the SDSU MAST program, and it has been an amazing experience thus far. Every faculty member has been accommodating to the point where we lose any learning. They also have a wide range of variety for clinical sites and will not just send you to a random site. There is a huge process in getting the site that matches the best with the individual. Ultimately, this program is to set us up for success as future athletic trainers, and so far, they have done an exceptioal job. I enjoy hanging out with friendsand trying new foods or boba spots in my free time. I also stay active by working ut and playing some pickup basketball. My favorite type of food is Chinese food, and I also have a growing liking for Mexican food.
I am from Southern California. I graduated with my Bachelors in Kinesiology with a minor in Nutrition from the University of Utah. I like Athletic Training for many reasons. One is the ability to keep learning and growing throughout my career. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends, going to the beah, doing yoga/meditations, and working out. My favorit food is sushi, and my favorite color is purple.
