Summary

I have a diverse background with over year of experience working as a server/ hostess, where I honed my communication, multitasking, and customer service skills in a fast-paced environment. I then transitioned into a two-year role at a bank, developing strong organizational, problem-solving, and financial management abilities. Additionally, I have completed over 100 hours of shadowing in both inpatient and outpatient physical therapy settings, where I gained valuable insight into patient care, rehabilitation techniques, and the role of a physical therapist in different healthcare environments.
