PCT : If you could have another career , what would it be and why ? JB : I started on the career track to be a veterinarian until I got into the fitness industry . I ’ m now in school to become a physical therapy assistant . It ’ s up my alley . I ’ m already in the fitness industry so it goes hand-inhand with what I do . I want to be a pediatric therapist , to work with people with traumatic brain injuries . My son Kayden had a brain tumor when he was a baby . I watched his therapy and so many things helped him . I would love to be a part of someone ’ s recovery .
