Summary
I have been passionate about the science and freedom of movement since my junior year in high School. Empathetic and understanding of those who are in pain and in need of rehabilitation. I am actively pursuing the knowledge and foundations to assist those in need to reach their goals of functionality, strength, and ultimately, independence through my education and hands on experience. Nothing means more to me that getting my Doctorate in Physical Therapy so that that I can help people.
