Summary

My goal is to become a physical therapist specializing in the elderly, active, and military populations and wellness and preventative care. In six to seven years I will have completed my education and received a doctorate’s in physical therapy. My interest in physical therapy came about after witnessing many coworkers get repetitive motion, work-related, and/or sports injuries which reduced their ability to work and quality of life. I have a strong desire to help improve workplace conditions on a global scale as well as at the individual level. I am very interested in pro bono services, research, and public health advocacy.
