I have known from a young age that I wanted to help people in some way. I did not specifically know what that meant for me as far as a career but I was always passionate about helping those who were sick or injured. Luckily, in my junior year of high school, every single family member of mine was injured and seeing a physical therapist. My dad had rotator cuff surgery, my mom had meniscus removal done on her knee and my brother had a SLAP tear repair. I also had sprained my ankle and was seeing a physical therapist as well. It was at this point that I became intrigued with everything they knew and how they were able to help a variety of injuries while being cheerful and uplifting. Since then, I have stayed on track to become a physical therapist and I am currently waiting to get accepted into the University of Montana, which is where I am from. I hope to be a positive influence in the world that supports other people when they need help and healing.
