Kaitlyn Burakowski
I am studying to earn my strength and conditioning certification to work with different athletes and eventually coach high school girls basketball. I earned my Bachelors in Exercise Physiology at East Carolina University and currently work at the Autism Society of NC. I played basketball at Whitnall High School in Greenfield Wisconsin. I hope to continue working with athletes and motivating them to continue to work for what they want and follow their dreams. I am looking forward to being a positive role model and learning from each of my players.
