I aspire to serve others and improve their ability to live fulfilled, healthy lives by helping them reach their goals through empowerment and education. I felt a strong draw to the profession of Physical Therapy not only because of my interest in optimal function of the human body; but also, because it can facilitate an opportunity for connection with patients and the space to provide them with high quality care by listening to their story, respecting their individual needs and values, and supporting their goals.
