I am beginning prerequisite coursework towards applying to DPT programs. I am actively looking for opportunities to shadow physical therapists. I am excited to learn about all specialties, but especially neurology, orthopedics, and pediatrics. I also do some work at the intersection of physical therapy and data science on the side. I am curious to see how.
