Goals and interests
- Career goal
I am pursuing a career in Physical Therapy. I am completing the undergraduate program at Northern Arizona University in Fitness and Wellness, applying to a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program, and then spending 3 years in the program, including hands-on experience. After completing the program and passing the licensing exam I will pursue a job in Physical Therapy in rehabilitation centers, sports medicine clinics, or private practices.
- Graduate school interests
I intend to go to a grad school that has an excellent curriculum, clinical experience, and research opportunities. I want a school that is a good fit for me, as I consider program size, culture, and student-faculty ratios. I am looking for a program in a new region that will give me the opportunity to explore a different environment and culture.
- Outside the classroom
During my leisure time, I enjoy physical activity and spending time outdoors. My hobbies include rock climbing, swimming, hiking, and enjoying live music with friends.
