About

I am currently an Exercise Science student at Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, KS. I am studying to receive my bachelors in Exercise Science, so I can apply to graduate school for Occupational Therapy schools. I grew up in a small town of Parsons, KS. I never knew what I wanted to do as a career until I got injured in high school and had to do therapy for a year at a time. Seeing the help that the therapist did for me made me realize that I want to help individual get back on their own feet and be able to do things by themselves
