Summary

As an aspiring Physical Therapist in my third year of undergraduate studies pursuing a Kinesiology major, I bring a unique blend of healthcare exposure as an optometric assistant and 150 hours of dedicated observation in physical therapy settings. My tenure with Rupp Arena's warehouse/stage crew has reinforced my belief in the vital role of physical therapy in enhancing the well-being of the working class. Eager to leverage this diverse background to contribute compassionately and effectively in the field of physical therapy, I am dedicated to fostering optimal health and mobility for individuals from all walks of life
