Summary
Sophomore Public Health major seeking my first hands-on experience in physical therapy. As an athlete who's grown up around sports and fitness, I've seen firsthand how important movement and recovery are to people's overall well-being. I'm eager to learn from experienced therapists and contribute my strong work ethic, genuine care for others, and ability to connect with patients during their recovery journey.
