PRESIDENT

Hometown: Tupelo, MS

Undergrad Degree: University of Mississippi - Exercise Science 

About Addison: Hi! My name is Addison Littleton, and I am excited to serve as the SGA President at IIOP. While earning my undergraduate degree in Exercise Science at Ole Miss, my interest in human movement and rehabilitation really began to grow. As I explored different healthcare careers, I was drawn to orthotics and prosthetics because of its unique combination of biomechanics, hands-on fabrication, and the ability to make a lasting impact on a person's mobility and independence.

I've never been someone who naturally gravitated toward clubs or student organizations, but joining SGA was an easy decision. This profession is filled with people who are constantly innovating and learning from one another, and serving in SGA allows me to build those relationships while representing a profession, I'm excited to be entering.

One of the things I love most about orthotics and prosthetics is that it is a career that challenges me to never stop looking for better solutions. As I continue through my education, I want to play a role in the future of the field by contributing to research and continually looking for better ways to improve patient outcomes. I am grateful for the opportunity to represent my classmates as SGA President this year and look forward to making the most of this experience

VICE PRESIDENT

Hometown: North Augusta, SC

Undergraduate Degree: University of South Carolina Upstate – Biology

About Truett: My name is Truett Taylor, and I am honored to serve as Vice President of SGA at the International Institute of Orthotics and Prosthetics. I am originally from North Augusta, South Carolina, and earned my bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of South Carolina Upstate.

For a long time, I thought my path was leading toward medical school, but I always felt like something was missing. When I discovered the field of orthotics and prosthetics, everything clicked. It felt like a direct calling from God and the perfect combination of everything I had been looking for. O&P brings together patient care, creativity, problem-solving, engineering, and hands-on fabrication in a way that no other profession does. Being able to work with my hands while also building meaningful relationships with patients is exactly what I was meant to do.

One of my favorite parts of IIOP has been the opportunity to learn by doing. Every lab, patient encounter, and fabrication project reinforces why I chose this profession. I enjoy the challenge of finding practical solutions that can improve someone's independence and quality of life. As Vice President of SGA, I hope to help create an environment where students feel connected, supported, and excited about their future in this profession. I also look forward to building relationships within our community through volunteer opportunities and events that allow us to give back while representing the values of IIOP.

TREASURER

Hometown:

Undergraduate Degree: University of West Florida - Communications

About Ryan: My name is Ryan Greene, and I am very excited to serve SGA as the Secretary.  I have always been passionate about helping others while continuing to challenge myself both personally and professionally. I started my college career playing baseball at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama, where I learned the value of hard work, discipline, and teamwork. Those experiences have shaped the way I approach every opportunity.

I later graduated from the University of West Florida with a bachelor's degree in Communications. After earning my degree, I spent two and a half years working as a Prosthetic and Orthotic Technician at Performance Prosthetics & Orthotics. During that time, I gained valuable hands-on experience fabricating and modifying prosthetic and orthotic devices while working alongside certified clinicians to improve patients' mobility and quality of life.

My experiences in athletics, education, and prosthetics have reinforced my passion for patient care and problem-solving. I enjoy building relationships with patients, learning from every clinical experience, and continuing to grow as a prosthetic and orthotic professional. My goal is to combine technical knowledge with compassionate care to help individuals regain independence and improve their overall quality of life.

SECRETARY

Hometown: Norcross, GA

Undergraduate Degree: University of Tennessee, Knoxville - Neuroscience

About Lily: My name is Lily Fairbank, and I am excited for the opportunity to serve as Secretary of the Student Government Association. My interest in orthotics and prosthetics began with a combined passion for engineering and the medical field. After my first shadowing experience, I knew this was the career path for me. The hands-on patient interaction that is unique to the field of orthotics and prosthetics continues to fuel my passion and commitment to the profession.

Through my undergraduate degree in neuroscience, I developed an understanding of psychology and the neurological connections between the mind and body. This background has helped strengthen my knowledge of human movement and how the body functions.

As Secretary, I look forward to working with my classmates and faculty to support our program and help contribute to a successful future in orthotics and prosthetics.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Hometown: Sevierville, TN

Undergraduate Degree: Milligan University - Exercise Science 

About Montana: Hello! My name is Montana Kreyer, and I serve as the Community Outreach Coordinator at IIOP.

My journey into the field of orthotics and prosthetics began during my sophomore year of college when a neighboring university announced the launch of its new O&P program. After shadowing a prosthetist and meeting several amputees, I realized this was the career I had been searching for. It combined everything I wanted in a profession: the opportunity to work in healthcare, build meaningful relationships with patients, and apply creativity through fabrication. Seeing the positive impact we can make in a patient's life is the most rewarding part of this profession, and it continues to inspire me every day.

I am excited and honored to serve as the Community Outreach Coordinator. I am passionate about building meaningful connections between our students, faculty, alumni, and the communities we serve. My goal is to create opportunities for outreach, service, and collaboration that strengthen our relationships within the O&P community while increasing awareness of our profession. I hope to encourage student involvement, strengthen our community, and create opportunities for us to make a positive impact together.
