Physical therapy is important to me because it provides an avenue to inspire change in consistently underserved regions of the country. It is also one of the professions on the forefront of promoting living an active and healthy lifestyle to help improve the overall health of society. I have been able to take some of these ideologies into my volunteer coaching at the high school level, in which we try to build healthy leaders on the court, in the classroom, and in life. Additionally, throughout my collegiate career, I have focused on promoting health equity in rural parts of Southern Utah, including St. George, Hurricane, and the Navajo lands in the Four Corners region. These areas face significant health inequities due to limited healthcare literacy and access, and I am committed to being part of the solution for these communities. To begin addressing these disparities, I have actively engaged in several initiatives during my time in graduate school. On numerous occasions, I have delivered presentations and demonstrations to showcase the various benefits of physical therapy and its potential impact on people in rural communities. Additionally, I have participated in hosting healthcare fairs for high school students in St. George, Utah, providing information on how they can pursue careers in physical therapy and other healthcare professions. In addition to these presentations, one of my most rewarding efforts has been collaborating annually with Utah Tech University's Physical Therapy Assistant program to bring the Go Baby Go project to Southern Utah. This program aims to modify small motorized ride-on toy cars for young children with disabilities. These disabilities often make it very challenging for the children to ambulate independently or play with their friends and family. These cars are provided free of charge to families and offer children a chance to enjoy their childhood more fully and engage with their families and friends. Moreover, I have made two 10-hour round trips to the rural Four Corners region to engage with high school students from the Navajo Nation. Through interactive presentations, I introduced them to the field of physical therapy, exploring various career pathways and demonstrating fun and practical interventions. These interventions included challenging exercises, electrical stimulation, and balance activities. Upon the conclusion of these activities, we discussed what health meant to them and how they can promote lifelong healthy habits for themselves and their families. The sessions were not only educational but also interactive and enjoyable, promoting movement and health among the students. Looking ahead, I aspire to continue working in underserved communities in rural areas across the country. My goal is to help reduce health disparities between rural and urban regions and contribute to improving the overall health of these communities through the services I provide during my career. By fostering equity in healthcare access, I hope to play a role in making our country healthier as a whole.
