Heather Mau always wanted to dig deep into the inner-workings of the human body. That’s why when she was attending Maryknoll High School in Honolulu, HI, she decided to pursue a career in athletic training.
“I played volleyball all throughout my four years of high school and started playing club volleyball when I was super young, so I’ve always been curious about injuries and how the body works and how to properly train,” Mau said. “So, my interest in athletic training started super early. I would say heavy interest, and I started planning everything for college and my Master’s (degree) when I was a freshman in high school.
