In honor of NATM let's honor Darren Vukovic, who has worked at NFMMC for 9 years as the AT at NTHS!
Graduated from SUNY Brockport for undergrad and Emporia for grad school.
Favorite school subject? Science
1st job? Dishwasher @ Tan Tara golf club
Favorite snack/dessert? Pizza
Favorite part of being an ATC? Building relationships with student athletes and helping them reach their goals!
Thank you for everything you do Darren!

In honor of NATM let's honor Kelsey Bright! This is her first year with us at NFMMC and is the ATC at KEHS!
Graduated from Ganon University with MS in AT
Favorite school subject? Biology or Environmental Science
1st job? Cashier @ Toys R Us
Favorite snack/dessert? Chocolate covered pretzels
Favorite part of being an ATC? Watching an athlete return to play after a long recovery. Just knowing how hard they worked to get back to doing what they love after an injury or surgery. I enjoy building relationships with them and helping them through the process but the big "payoff" moment is when they return to the field/court/ice, etc and you know how much it means to the student-athlete to be back out there.
Welcome to the team Kelsey!
