From the time I can remember I have always been an inquirer. I remember pone of the first times I cut my finger asking my dad why it way bleeding and why a few minuets later out had stopped. My dad is an ER doctor and he always told the truth even if I didn't understand. I believe this is where I became interested in the human body. Additionally while I was growing up I always wanted to share my knowledge with my younger brother. I loved to teach him all the things I learned and when I got older I loved to leach all my friends as well. While studying Integrate Physiology and Education simultaneously I hope to create two avenues for my professional career. I hope to become a Physical Therapist specializing in adolescents. If I cannot make it into PT school I have been student teaching and am working on getting my teaching certificate so I will be able to teach elementary and middle school science when I graduate.

As stated above I hope to attend Physical Therapy School.

In addition to school work I am an avid triathlete. I am on the University of Colorado Triathlon team. Last year I went to nationals and competed in the olympic and mixed team relay. I placed 19th overall in the olympic and our team placed 1st in the mixed team relay. Triathlon is important to me because it provides structure to my life when I feel like I am grasping for straws. I enjoy working hard and seeing how much I can improve.
I grew up in Arlee Montana on a farm. Despite my shinny road bike and my colorful running shoes I do enjoy a long horseback ride in the mountains. I used to race horses with my mom but there came a point in time where it was too difficult to be a triathlete and a competitive junior horse racer. I chose to do triathlon but my love for horses has never faded.
