As a first year Doctor of Physical Therapy student at Belmont University, I am very excited to continue my education and learn about the physical therapy profession. In my next three years as a student, I will be working with my peers gaining knowledge before entering the clinic on my own. My time as a physical therapy technician has taught me patient care skills and communication, and has given me an interest in orthopedics, neurology, and women's health. Prior to attending Belmont University as a graduate student, I attended Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Exercise science, and minors in Psychology and Sport Coaching. During my time at Auburn University, I was involved in organizations such as Alpha Omicron Pi, Physical Therapy Occupational Therapy (PTOT) club, and the Kinesiology club. I graduated in May of 2024 with Summa Cum Laude honors. I will earn my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in August of 2027.
