Summary
My competitive mindset drives me to be passionate about everything that I do in my daily life from finishing my undergraduate degree, to getting into the best Physical Therapy School I can, to being a light to others around me. I thrive in challenging environments that fuel my determination to succeed. Along with my competitive spirit, I am deeply committed to making a lifelong impact on the people around me by spreading joy and positivity, which I aspire to bring into my work environment. I want to provide care that does no just label a patient for their injury but instead understand the patient for who they are.
