Hallie McCarn is in her first year as an Associate Athletic Trainer at Eastern Michigan University, joining the department in July 2025. She brings a diverse clinical background and a strong foundation in both research and hands-on athletic training, shaped by experiences across high school, collegiate, and international settings.
Originally from Lexington, N.C., McCarn graduated from Gray Stone Day School in 2015. She earned her Bachelor's in Athletic Training from Indiana University in 2020, where she also minored in Exercise Science and Coaching.
