I am a freshman at Saint Gregory's University wanting to become a physical therapist! As a kid I played many sports and was always hurt. Recent injuries have taught me the importance of physical therapy and have brought to light my interest in the human physiology. I was amazed to see how my therapist could simply look at my motions, feel my joints, and explain to me the specific involvements of each muscle and how they are more or less effective. This experience developed into my drive and desire to become a physical therapist. I have a strong drive to motivate others around me, whether it pertains to general exercise, athletics, or academics. Growing up my parents always had me working in restaurants! I've learned to work well with people, have patience for them, talk to them! In high school I was a Track & Field manager, I learned to take care of the runners the way a therapist would! I enjoyed doing it for 4 years and my goal is to continue to help others get better!
