Hi, my name is Tim

0:03

and I am, uh,

0:05

a health science educator in the field of allied health.

0:08

Um, in the state of Kentucky.

0:10

I have taught, uh,

0:12

allied health vocational studies for, for 12 years.

0:14

I've helped students compete at a national

0:16

and international level on healthcare skills.

0:19

Um, I have been an adjunct faculty at a, uh,

0:23

college here locally.

0:24

Um, I have been a practicing

0:27

and credentialed, uh, athletic trainer in the state

0:30

of Kentucky for over 22 years.

0:33

And I have been an educator, um, at the elementary, middle,

0:37

and high school and collegiate levels for over 25 years.

0:40

Um, originally I was PE certified,

0:44

so I taught physical education.

0:45

And then, um,

0:47

after practicing in the sports medicine field for so long,

0:51

I became an Allied health, uh,

0:54

vocational studies instructor.

0:56

So my focus the last several years, uh, 12 years

1:00

or more, has been on career studies

1:03

and preparing students for post-secondary readiness

1:06

and, uh, potentially taking that next step

1:09

to the college level or even going straight into the

1:11

workforce at some entry, uh, level position.

1:15

Um, I believe in doing everything I can

1:18

to help someone understand the basic fundamentals

1:21

and principles of a, of a topic

1:24

and doing everything I can to get an answer or a solution.

1:28

Uh, I like being a resource for someone, whether, um,

1:32

I can be direct impact, uh, on a student

1:36

or finding some other way to help that person, uh, continue

1:40

to grow.
