years of professional experience
Proactive and collaborative, I excelled as a Physical Therapist Intern at Piner Elementary School, where I enhanced student functionality through targeted activities. My adeptness in problem-solving and effective activity planning led to significant improvements in students' coordination, balance, and strength. Skilled in both individual and group settings, I successfully integrated relaxation techniques and contributed to interdisciplinary team efforts for comprehensive student support.
