Episode Details

What does it take to go from saying “I’m just a PTA” to being a respected leader, educator, and advocate in the PT space?

In this episode, we talk with Jessica, a physical therapist assistant, Army veteran, educator, and RTM trailblazer who’s rewriting the script on what it means to be a PTA. She shares her powerful journey through massage therapy, military service, clinical care, and into education and leadership — including a game-changing moment when she was told, “We want YOU” by the APTA.

Whether you're a PTA, DPT, student, or clinic owner, Jessica’s story will inspire you to stop waiting for permission and start showing up where you belong.
