In 2013, I arrived in the United States without fluency in English and with little understanding of the country’s systems, including financial responsibilities. Despite these challenges, I pursued higher education with determination, earning my bachelor’s degree while working full-time to support my parents and fund my education. Before committing to graduate school, I took time to ensure that physical therapy was my true calling. Since then, I have successfully completed my first year while maintaining a strong GPA, demonstrating professionalism, and dedicating myself fully to the field. My goal is to complete this program and use my expertise to positively impact as many patients as possible.
