MEREDITH GREEN
Pittsburgh,PA
Summary
I recently graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, with a major in Rehabilitation Sciences, a minor in Gender, Sexuality & Women's studies, and a certificate in Conceptual Foundations of Medicine. I am on a pre-professional track for physical therapy, with a place in Pitt's Guaranteed Admissions Program for PT school. I am currently starting a gap year with the professional goal of gaining further exposure to rehabilitative settings through a full or part-time role. My combined professional and educational experiences have honed my time management, organizational, and interpersonal skills, and provided me with a solid foundation for providing quality care. I'm looking forward to applying such skills in future positions.
