Payton Russum, med, atc

I graduated with a Bachelor's in Kinesiology from San Francisco State University and went on to earn my Master’s in Athletic Training at the University of the Pacific. As a former college wrestler, I have a strong background in sports and fitness. I’ve previously worked as an Athletic Trainer at Diablo Valley College and for a Minor League Soccer team. I’m excited to bring my experience and passion for athletic training to this new role and look forward to contributing to the team.
