Summer has been with Rock Steady Boxing since August of 2024. She started as a volunteer using her background as a part time kickboxing trainer of 8 years. At the time, she was a full time veterinary assistant and canine rehab tech. But she instantly fell in love with the members and gained an appreciation for the organization and its cause. She became an assistant coach 3 months later, and in July of 2025 she left the animal care world to come on full time as a head coach and administrative assistant. With daily interactions with the members and continuous mentorship from her colleagues, she is grateful to be a part of their fight against Parkinson’s.
