About
I'm a Navy veteran. I spent eight and a half years in the US Navy as a Hospital Corpsman. I've done many jobs in the Hospital working in a surgical unit, internal medicine clinic, and PT clinic. Three and a half of those years were spent doing combat medicine alongside Marine units. I've deployed to Afghanistan and Cuba. My deployment in Afghanistan was eye opening and there is when I made the decision to finish school and pursue Physical Therapy.

My ultimate goal is to become a physical therapist. I'd be honored to do work in the rehabilitation of wounded veterans. My ultimate dream job would be in sports medicine.

Being accepted into a Physical Therapy Doctorates Program is my number one interest at the moment.
- Outside the classroom
I enjoy painting when I can take a break from doing work. I love running and participating in marathons.
