Elena Gable // PT AIDE
I was born and raised in Alton, IL. I come from a big supportive family, I love spend as much time with them as possible but Springfield has been a great second home to me. I tried just about every sport growing up, I love them. The ones the stuck with me were tennis and basketball, I played both of them for 10 years. I got to go to state for tennis my senior year of high school and continued to play club tennis in college at Missouri state university. I recently graduated from MSU with my bachelors degree in exercise and movement science. I plan on going back to school in January 2022 at OTC for their PTA program.
A couple of my passions are helping others and staying active, which makes working at Carr physical therapy very fun. Can’t wait to continue learning, making people smile and getting them to feel their best!
