I am a student at Del Mar College currently working on perquisites to enter into the Physical Therapy Assistant program (PTA). I consider myself to be a hard worker who is determined to achieve goals. I like challenges. I am a quick learner and am self driven. I focus on the big picture but also the details that form the big picture.
