About
As a dedicated, tenacious, and hardworking individual with a nationally competitive figure skating background, I have built a foundation of discipline and perseverance balanced with a sense of curiosity and adventure. I am passionate about leveraging these qualities to pursue a career in physical therapy, combining athletic experience with a commitment to helping others achieve optimal physical health and well-being. In pursuit with this career goal, I have shadowed alongside Belen Vala-Haynes at Theraupetics Therapy Associates in Vancouver, WA with a goal of becoming an assistant in the Spring of 2025.
