Position: Athletic Trainer

How long have you worked at Prep

2 years part time, full time as of this year

A familiar face is now a full-time athletic trainer at Gonzaga Prep alongside trainer and teacher Chris Hawley. Millie Faber came to Prep two years ago from U-District Physical Therapy, where she also worked as an athletic trainer.

Millie loves working directly with student-athletes, and seeing them grow in their sport, no matter the level, “The smiles on their faces when they achieve their goals is the best feeling ever!”

She takes inspiration from a mentor who once told her “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.”

When she’s not in the training room or at one of the many games, matches or meets you might find her reading a book and spending time with family and friends.
