Chloe Ortega

For the past four years, I’ve served as a Student Athletic Trainer at Belton High School, where I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with student-athletes, coaches, and medical staff. I’ve gained hands-on experience in first aid, injury prevention, and recovery support—everything from effective taping techniques to ensuring athletes are hydrated and ready to perform. Beyond the physical skills, this role has taught me responsibility, teamwork, and how to stay calm under pressure. I take pride in being someone my team can count on, both on and off the field, and this experience has inspired me to explore a future in sports medicine or healthcare.
