Flecicia Heise began her journey at Palomar College in November 1993 and since taking the helm as Head Athletic Trainer in 1997, she has become one of the most enduring and beloved figures within the department and across the state. For more than 30 years, she has been a constant, steady, trusted presence for countless student-athletes navigating the demands of competition, recovery and everything in between.

Her passion for athletic training took root long before arriving in San Marcos. While pursuing her degree in Kinesiology at California State University, Long Beach, she didn’t just study athletic training, she lived it by gaining hands on experience at A.C.I.C Physical Therapy that would shape her for years to come. From 1985 to 1990, she served as the athletic trainer at El Toro High School. She later earned her Master’s Degree of Education from Azusa Pacific University in 1996.When she’s not covering a game or in the training room, Heise is enjoying life in Oceanside alongside her husband, Tom, and cherishes time with their daughters, Cara and Morgan.
