I am a first year Doctor of Physical Therapy student at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky. I've lived in Louisville all my life and attended Bellarmine for my undergraduate education as well. While I've never been a physical therapy patient myself, plenty of my family and friends have been through the process, and going with them to sessions helped me gain exposure to the profession for the first time. My love of anatomy and kinesiology and my passion for helping and improving the lives of others have helped me fall in love with PT. The idea of being able to pursue my greatest interest while impacting people's quality of life as a career was amazing to me. Now, I aspire to become a pediatrics physical therapist or work with amputees and either stay in Louisville or move to the Pacific Northwest.
