Curriculum Vitae
Completed three clinical rotations during my time at Ivy Tech. These include:
- Ball Memorial Hospital Rehabilitation Services in Muncie, IN from 03/2026 to 04/2026 (7-week rotation)
- Reid Hospital in Richmond, IN from 01/2026 to 02/2026 (7-week rotation)
- Ivy Rehab for Kids in Kokomo, IN from 04/2025 to 05/2025 (3-week rotation)
At BMH Rehabilitation Services, I worked with patients both in the pool and on land. At Reid Hospital, I mostly worked with patients on the Acute Rehab Unit but also some on the inpatient floors. During these rotations, I worked with a wide variety of pathologies, ranging from CVAs to delayed developments. During treatments, I worked with patients on therapeutic exercises, therapeutic activities, neuromuscular reeducation, manual therapy, and aquatic therapy. After all my rotations, I was able to enhance my skills on assessing the patient's deficits, creating a proper treatment that specifically tailors to the patient's problems, performing manual therapy including STM and IASTM, creating a well detailed document outlining the patient's treatment session, and communicating with other healthcare workers.
