Academic Goals
Undergraduate- Exercise Science

I chose to be an Exercise Science major because of my enjoyment for working out, interest in how the body works, and want to improve community health quality. I know that I want to either go into Physical Therapy school after my bachelors. I thoroughly enjoy helping individuals rehabilitate their injuries. I'm passionate about the fact that a lot of my major is hands on, therefore I am gaining professional and applicable skills for my career while I'm in undergrad. I also enjoy that the material I have been presented is programmed for all types of populations; not just athletes but kids and individuals who may have disabilities or chronic diseases.
Furthermore, I am passionate about bringing in Wellness and parts of my clients lives into their therapy to make it applicable and personable. I had the opportunity as well to go through a unique internship that allowed me to assist kids in equine therapy. I do not have any certificates currently, but I do maintain a CPR card through Red Cross. I am still looking for certificates that could be beneficial for Physical Therapy involving children and animals, but I'm also interested in other certificates and associations too!
Career Goals
Physical Therapy (Out-Patient/Business)
When I first start my career as a Physical Therapy I want to start in an out-patient setting so that I can get used to how they bill, how they build up cliental, and how the business is overall ran. I would like to start in Indiana, though my clinicals could land me somewhere else. After a couple years of working for organizations, I want to open up my own private PT practice that incorporates Horses and service animals into the therapy. For this plan it would be best to Partner with an OT and a Ranch if possible.
Animals & Physical Therapy resonates with me for a variety of reasons, but most importantly, I enjoy rehabilitating & training skills that are meaningful to individuals. My father used to go through a lot of Physical Therapy and without it he wouldn't have been around as long as he did, so I have a deep emotional connection to this field and want to help people of all ages get active sooner rather than later!
