Helotes
Summary
My name is Matthew Rhodes, and I am currently a graduate student enrolled at the University of Texas at San Antonio set to graduate the spring of 2026 with a Master's in Kinesiology. I am pursuing a Doctorate in Physical Therapy with aspirations of becoming a travel therapist. I have held the position of a physical therapy tech/aide, and I am currently taking a course through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) to become a certified personal trainer. As a former high school and collegiate athlete, I've worked with numerous physical therapists and trainers, so I am eager to gain experience in this next field.
