Thank You for volunteering Kylea!

When Kylea Sheley, MA, ATC, LAT, first started volunteering, she felt like the only LGBTQIA+ athletic trainer in her state.

Continuing our Pride Month series, Sheley shares how her work with the NATA LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee has helped build community and create visibility within the profession.
