  • 43. PTA Inspire Series - Melissa Chase, PTA - Episode 3

    This is Episode 3 of the PTA Inspire Series - where PTA Elevation founder Briana Drapp, SPT, PTA, CSCS interviews Melissa Chase, PTA about her experience of becoming a PTA, passing her boards, and the her story as a non traditional and career changing student.

    “I began my career as a teacher, and then started working as a personal trainer and PT Tech in an outpatient clinic. I enjoyed working with patients, seeing them come into our office in pain and leave in such a better place. I wanted to be the person responsible for helping them feel that way. In 2020, the gym in which I was managing, and training closed due to Covid, and I had an opportunity to go back to school to finally become a PTA.  I sold my house in Georgia and moved back to Pennsylvania and last October I graduated from Central Penn College, passed my board exam in January 2022, and am currently working with Pivot Physical Therapy in Mechanicsburg, PA.” - Melissa Chase, PTA
