The Alliance for Massage Therapy Education is one of the most important organizations in my profession. I truly believe that the best way to uplift the massage community is to better prepare massage educators to effectively influence the upcoming generations of students.
I joined as a teacher member.
Then I voluntarily began the portfolio and application process to prove I was a competent educator and had mastered ten competencies. I was the first faculty member at my school to gain this credential.

It was my honor to be worthy of certification. Since attaining certification I have gone on to volunteer within the organization.
