Olathe,Ks.

Summary

I am a second year student of the doctorate of physical therapy school at the University of Kansas Medical Center. I recently have been introduced to the research world and involved in a study of the Vestibular system and the relationship to cognition. I graduated from Kansas State University as a first generation college student in 2021. I left Kansas State with a degree in kinesiology where I found my passion for physical therapy and fitness. Throughout my studies in undergrad I started working at bath and body works and have hit my five year bench mark! I also worked in child care services at the United Church of Christ teaching children about the Bible as well as watching over infants in the nursery.
