Goals & Aspirations
I am currently a junior at IUI majoring in Exercise Science on a Pre-Physical Therapy track.
Currently, I have shadowed both OT and PT clinicians in multiple areas and expertise. I have gained internships and professional experiences related to my field. I have gained an ACL tear research internship as a well working as a rehab aide for a PT clinic.
Throughout my academic journey at IUI, I have developed a strong foundation of my passion to help and serve others. My background in ACL tear research as well as clinic experience as a rehab aide my interest has paved my interest and aspirations in sports injury prevention. I plan to to seek further education and I aim to earn my Doctorate of Physical Therapy specializing in Sports Therapy.
My interest in sports and athletes is sparked by my ongoing curiosity of not only helping in rehabilitation but also prevention. My own personal experiences as a former soccer athlete and watching many fellow teammates lose their athletic careers to ACL tears, meniscus tears and other debilitating injuries I have always carried a frustrating feeling. Since diving into my own research and my own experiences I have made it my mission to one day help other athletes recover and overcome.
