The Next Step doesn’t just create athletes… we reckon we create some pretty incredible allied health professionals too!
So, this post is a proper shout-out to our awesome foursome, Jade, Kaitlyn, Brandon and Zane.
One of the things we’re most proud of at TNS is being a place where students can come in, learn, grow, be challenged and, sometimes, even become part of the furniture.
Jade, Brandon and Zane all started their TNS journeys as placement students. Today, they’re dedicated members of Team TNS, bringing skill, energy, laughter and genuine care to our community.
Zane’s journey has taken him from placement student → Allied Health Assistant → completing his Exercise Physiology degree → and now officially working with us as an Exercise Physiologist. Brandon isn’t too far behind him either!
Jade has followed a similar path, going from placement student to AHA while studying Occupational Therapy and continuing to grow into one hell of an allied health professional.
Then there’s Kaitlyn, who joined us at the beginning of this year as an Exercise Physiologist. Somehow, though, it feels like she’s been here forever. She slotted into our slightly chaotic TNS family so naturally that it’s hard to remember the team without her.
Together, these four have brought so much joy, personality, skill and genuine care into our centre this year. Watching them grow in their careers while becoming such an important part of Team TNS has been pretty special.
Here’s to the awesome foursome.
We’re very lucky to have you! 💙🧡
