Why I became an Physical Therapist
I discovered my passion for helping others while leading a nonprofit organization supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout high school. During my junior year, I sustained a knee injury while playing volleyball, tearing my ACL and meniscus and requiring nearly a year of physical therapy. Through my own experience as a patient, I was introduced to the impact of PT and saw an opportunity to combine my passion for helping others with my love of movement and physical activity. I knew physical therapy was a career that would not only fulfill me personally, but also allow me to make a meaningful, positive difference in the lives of others.
