About Me[edit | edit source]

I previously completed my Bachelor of Arts in Exercise Science at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky. While at Bellarmine University I was a member of the NCAA softball team and in the Pre-Physical Therapy Association.

I am now currently continuing my education at Bellarmine University in the Doctor of Physical Therapy progam. I anticipate graduating in 2020 with my graduate degree. My interest in physical therapy started when my grandmother suffered a stroke and required therapy to regain some of her independence. I later found that was my calling when I was in highschool and suffered an injury of my own that required therapy treatment.

In my free time I enjoy being outside and exercising. I like to volunteer within the community and learn new skills.
