Why did you decide to pursue physical therapy?
I always knew I wanted to be in the medical field. After watching my mom go through physical therapy due to her breast cancer recovery, I knew this was the field I wanted to go into. PT was life changing in her healing process. It truly changed her quality of life, and I would love to be in a career that is so impactful.

What is your major and why did you choose it?
I am an exercise science major. This seemed like the best major for my pre-PT track. I have learned lots about the science of movement, and how people can live healthier lives through exercise and nutrition.
