Being an ROTC cadet and earning a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science at Bellarmine University uniquely prepares me to be an effective Physical Therapist. My ROTC training instills leadership, discipline, and resilience qualities essential for working with other individuals. Additionally, my Exercise Science education provides a strong foundation in biomechanics, physiology, and injury prevention, equipping me with the knowledge to develop evidence-based treatment plans. Combining these experiences, I will be well-prepared to assess, treat, and optimize individuals’ physical performance while understanding the demands of life, making me a highly capable and mission-ready Physical Therapist.
