Meet Your Hosts

Ken - is a licensed PTA in Nevada. He has recently graduated from college and is currently working in an out-patient setting. When he is not working he loves to play board/card games, snowboarding, anime, and hanging out with his family.

Laura - is also a licensed PTA in Nevada. She has been a licensed PTA for almost 5 years. She has also worked in the out-patient and in-patient setting. She brings a unique prospective as she has recently had an injury that has had her take a step back from being the treater to being the patient. When not working she enjoys crafting, hanging out with friends, and Vegas Golden Knights games (hockey).
