Message from Jeremy:

As an experienced athletic trainer, healthcare leader, and advocate for the profession, I am eager to contribute my organizational, financial, and leadership skills to support the NCATA's mission and continued growth.


Throughout my career with Novant Health and in secondary school athletic training settings, I have been entrusted with managing resources, coordinating program needs, and ensuring responsible stewardship of departmental assets. My experience establishing and leading athletic training programs at Oak Grove High School and Mount Tabor High School required careful budget planning, equipment purchasing, inventory management, and collaboration with administrators and healthcare providers to meet both operational and
financial goals. These experiences have strengthened my attention to detail, fiscal responsibility, and ability to make informed decisions that support organizational success.


In my current role as Supervisor of Athletic Trainers, I regularly work with multiple stakeholders, oversee program operations, and assist with strategic planning initiatives. I have developed strong skills in organization, communication, and accountability, all of which I believe are essential for an effective Treasurer.


Additionally, my technical proficiency and analytical mindset position me well to manage financial records, monitor budgets, and provide transparent reporting to the Executive Board and membership. I am fully committed to fulfilling the responsibilities of the Treasurer position and serving the NCATA with
integrity and professionalism. I value the important role the association plays in advancing athletic training across North Carolina, and I would welcome the opportunity to help ensure its financial stability while supporting initiatives that benefit our members and the patients they serve.


I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to the NCATA Executive Board and to support the ongoing advancement of the athletic training profession. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my experience, leadership, and commitment to service can benefit the association in this role.
