I am presently in first year studying BSc Physiotherapy in Northumbria University. I have always been interested in a career in the health care sector but have been drawn to physiotherapy from life experience and various work placements. I am qualified with an honors (2.1) BSc degree in Public Health and Health Promotion and also an ordinary degree 2.2 in Health Science and Physiology both from IT Sligo.As part of the course I have wide knowledge on nutritional diet, physical activity, health conditions and mental health. I have worked with various population groups such as people with physical and learning disabilities, the older adult and minors. I have organised activity days, mental health talks and physical activity sessions for each group. I use my knowledge and skills outside college with my own health and also to help others. I volunteered with physiotherapist Tony Coffee in Shannagh Sports and Mobility Clinic for six months in 2012. There I worked with a number of clients creating and performing rehabilitation programmes.I also was a first aid assistant with my local gaelic team. I also volunteer with fund raising and participating and organising charity events.
