Lori Johannessen ATC, LATMy name is Lori Johannessen, and I am the new district one representative to the NATA’s secondary school committee. I work as a hospital employed – high school outreach athletic trainer. I have been with the hospital since earning my BS in 2002, and as the sole athletic trainer at Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School; I have cared for our athletes for the last 8 years. I look forward to contributing to the SSATC, and am enjoying learning so much about the variations that are found school-to-school and state-to-state.

District Representative:
David McAllister, MAEd, ATC, LAT
My name isDavid McAllister and I am the new District III Representative to the NATA Secondary Schools Athletic Trainers’ Committee (SSATC). Having been recently added to the Committee, I look forward to representing and serving the athletic trainers working in the secondary school setting within my district.
I was employed as the Coordinator for Athletic Training services at Cary Sports Therapy in Cary, NC where I worked for three years. As part of my duties at the clinic, I served as the Head Athletic Trainer for the Raleigh Flyers; a local professional soccer team. I left Cary Sports Therapy to become the Head Athletic Trainer at Emory & Henry College in Emory, VA. While in Virginia I served as Chair of the Virginia Athletic Trainers’ Association Legislative Committee, which worked towards obtaining licensure for athletic trainers in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
In 1997 I returned home to North Carolina and for the last fifteen years have worked as the Athletic Trainer at Cary Academy in Cary, NC. During that time I have provided athletic health care to athletes participating on forty-seven teams in twelve sports at the middle school, junior varsity, and varsity levels. I currently serve as the Secondary School Representative to the NCATA Board of Directors and as the Editor of the quarterly NCATA newsletter. I serve as a member of the District III Scholarship Committee and in 2004, was selected by the NCATA as the Secondary Schools Athletic Trainer of the Year.

District Representative:
Kembra Mathis, MEd, ATC, LAT
I have been an athletic trainer for 15 years in the secondary school setting. I am the director of the Sports Medicine Program for Bentonville High School in Bentonville AR and have been there for almost 7 years now. I picked up my bachelor’s degree in athletic training from Missouri State University in 1998 and then finished my Master’s degree in counseling from Northeastern State University in Broken-Arrow on 2005. Currently, I serve as the SWATA SSATC chair as well as the AR SSATC chair. I honestly believe the secondary school setting is the best kept secret in the field. I love working with high school kids both on the field and in the classroom and thank God every day for the opportunities I’ve been given to do the job I do. This is an exciting time to be a part of the Secondary School Athletic Training committee and I look forward to being a part of the wave of change that the future is blowing our way!

District Representative:
Christopher Dean, ATC
My name is Christopher Dean, and I have been a Certified Athletic Trainer since 1996. I first began my journey into Athletic Training as a freshman at Lathrop High School. Lathrop had a small but very dedicated Student Athletic Trainer program that provided the experience and foundation to help me transition into a collegiate Student Athletic Trainer Program at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks. I was one of the final students in UAF internship program to complete the program and obtain certification as a Certified Athletic Trainer. Following graduation, I began working as a Physician Extender with our Team Physician. While serving in this role, I also worked as a volunteer Athletic Trainer at the University of Alaska, 3 area High Schools, with the Junior A hockey team, the summer league baseball team and numerous community cultural and athletic events. In 2002, I assumed the role of Head Athletic Trainer at Lathrop High School, coming full circle with where I had begun my journey many years prior. I serve as the Secondary Schools Athletic Trainer Committee representative for the State of Alaska as well as the Northwest Athletic Trainers Association (District 10) representative to the National Secondary Schools Athletic Trainer Committee.
