Summary
My professional goals include a becoming a physical therapist who conducts research on sports related injuries and how to best prevent them. In addition, I want to research the best methods for injury prevention and share them with the athletic community. My inspiration to study Kinesiology stems from my passion for color guard and the need to improve how injuries are managed within the community.
