The Faces Behind PTA Schools.com
Lindsay Hall – Writer
Lindsay is the main writer for PTASchools.com and has always been intrigued by the healthcare industry, in particular the physical therapy sector after going through physical therapy after a knee injury in high school (she is 100% recovered now!). She also constantly researches education and forward-looking careers. Because her background is in healthcare and she is also a talented writer, she was the perfect fit to run a resource dedicated to physical therapy assisting.
