From a young age, I always had the desire to make a meaningful impact in healthcare, but it was during high school that this passion truly blossomed. I had the opportunity to observe a physical therapist and other healthcare professionals, which deepened my interest. 

At the same time, I was studying human anatomy and physiology, and I became completely fascinated by the subject. As I explored more about the field, physical therapy stood out as the ideal profession for me. Furthermore, as an athlete, I felt it was the perfect path to follow. Looking back on those experiences, I am thankful for the exposure I received to the profession at such a crucial time, as it directed me toward my current journey.
