Hi! I am passionate about becoming a pediatric physical therapist and one day opening a clinic dedicated to helping children heal both physically and emotionally after experiencing trauma. Working with children has shaped my purpose and inspired my career goals. I believe healing is about more than recovering from an injury; it is about helping children build confidence, regain independence, and feel supported throughout their journey. My passion for this field comes from my love of science and my desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Health Science with plans to attend the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program at University of Illinois Chicago this fall. My long-term goal is to provide compassionate care to children while creating a safe and welcoming environment where they can thrive. Outside of academics, I have spent many years working with children. I have worked as a swim instructor and swim coach, experiences that strengthened my leadership, communication, and mentoring skills. I also swam competitively during the winter season, which taught me discipline, perseverance, and the value of hard work. As I prepare for graduate school, I am actively seeking scholarships to help reduce the financial burden of earning my DPT. Every scholarship brings me closer to achieving my goals and allows me to focus on becoming the best healthcare professional I can be. I am committed to using my education to make a lasting impact on the lives of children and families in need.
