I am currently a DPT student at Long Island University at Brooklyn with a B.S in Kinesiology from the University of Rhode Island. I became interested in the field of exercise science/sports medicine during my sports career while growing up. While playing sports growing up, I have endured my fair amount of sports injuries and because of this it sparked an interest in sports medicine. I wanted to give back, provide care for patients and stay connected with athletes. I currently intern at Elite Physical Therapy in Coventry, Rhode Island previous experience with internships at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Soaring Eagle Physical Therapy, Elite Physical Therapy, and also with my high school Athletic Trainer whom I shadowed during live games and also in the AT room. I have enjoyed staying within the sports medicine field and providing relief for patients/athletes in pain and getting them back to regular health. I have also performed an individual internship with professor, Doctor Ward- Ritacco, at the University of Rhode Island that focused on exercise order data entry for labs that she has performed over the past couple years which were then used for further research. I have also constructed a walking track for patients and physical therapists at New York Presbyterian Hospital’s Physical Therapy facility at Croton on Hudson. This track is still used today which allows for greater estimations and accuracy for PTs in regard to walking efficacy and distance measurements.
