I’m a motivated and passionate junior at the University of Houston, majoring in Kinesiology with the goal of becoming a physical therapist. I have a strong interest in sports rehabilitation and helping others regain strength, mobility, and confidence through movement and recovery. During my freshman year, I suffered two ischemic strokes at the age of 18. This life-changing experience could have stopped me but instead, it fueled my determination to pursue a career in physical therapy and support others on their own healing journeys. I’m currently on the road to recovery while balancing full-time coursework and full-time work, and I’ve maintained a 3.9 GPA through it all. In addition to my academics, I’ve gained experience through involvement in various campus organizations, including the Sports Medicine Club, where I’ve deepened my knowledge of injury prevention and rehabilitation. These experiences have strengthened my skills in communication, time management, and teamwork, and reinforced my passion for healthcare and service. I’m always looking to connect with professionals, mentors, and like-minded peers in physical therapy and sports medicine. Feel free to reach out—I’m eager to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact in this field.
