Personal Statement

As a physical therapist, I strive to help children understand and appreciate their unique movement capabilities and empower them to achieve goals that are both meaningful and personal to them. Outside of physical therapy, I enjoy staying active in various outdoor activities, particularly training for and competing in triathlons, cheering on my favorite sport teams, reading, and spending quality time with my family and friends.
