My Journey with the Physiology and Medical Sciences Program
I love the Physiology and Medical Sciences program here at the University of Arizona because of the community and connections I have created with the professors, the teaching assistants, and my peers. Through this community, I've been able to learn and experience more about the human body in ways I could have never imagined. My journey thus far through the PSIO program has not only reassured me that I chose the proper career path, but it has also allowed me to explore how deep my passion for physiology and healthcare is. Not only has this program given me the knowledge to stay on a successful path for this field and my future career, but it has also given me the tools to live a healthy lifestyle.
Academic & Career Goals
Pursue a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree/program upon graduation. In the future, I want to become a Physical Therapist for professional athletes while also working with the general population. I hope to help people bounce back to their lives.

Ask Me About
Fitness and weight lifting, managing Greek life, academics, and the social aspect of college! I believe physical health is just as important as mental health and academic success. Being able to properly balance the challenges and adventures that this new stage of life brings is key for overall success.
