Hello and welcome to TAPE: Taking Action with Preventative Education .  My name is Dr. Ajaya Williams and I am a recent graduate from Teachers College doctoral health education program as well as a certified athletic trainer currently working for Columbia University for the past 1o years with athletics.  I decided to start this blog to share my journey as a female athletic trainer in NYC, while promoting my passion for educating about health, wellness and injury prevention.  My goal is to create a platform to help me overcome my insecurities, set aside my self-awareness and connect with my viewers…… which is you.  So thank you for allowing me to indulge in your time.
