Summary
I am a Professional Year II Physical Therapy student at Saint Louis University. I am a visual learner and learn best with physical, hands-on experiences. To receive feedback, I would prefer to be corrected, and to have a proper, visual demonstration of task expectations. All fields of physical therapy are of interest to me, although, I have the greatest experience and interest in acute, inpatient care settings.
