"I'm incredibly excited to join the Brevard College family and become part of the Tornado community," stated Chamberlain.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such dedicated professionals and look forward to helping support the health, performance, and overall experience of Brevard's student-athletes."
Throughout his graduate program, Chamberlain gained extensive clinical experience working with collegiate and high school student-athletes across a variety of sports.
