I am a first year physical therapy student at Bellarmine University. I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Baylor University. I have shadowed inpatient, outpatient, and geriatric settings. I have an interest in working with amputees and geriatrics. However, I am open to all fields.

About Me

     I am a first generation Ethiopian American with a love for people, science, and cultures. I love meeting new people and finding a connection with each person. Through health care, I can combine this with my understanding of biomechanics to bring about healing, not just treatment. Healing addresses the mind and body, not just the physical ailments of the patient.

     Coming through for someone, educating them, encouraging them to dig deep and find that strength to continue, and seeing them overcome obstacles is incredibly rewarding. I feel that I have what it takes to be what my patients need. I am a motivator, a listener, and a compassionate person. I know physical therapy is my calling due to the intimate patient care and interaction necessary to reach rehabilitation.
