Get to know me…
I grew in in Waukesha, Wisconsin and lived there until I went to college. In
high school, I was involved in athletics, I played volleyball & basketball.
My senior year I changed sports and took up rowing, I rowed for a private club
in Milwaukee called Milwaukee Rowing Club.
My original career aspiration was to be a physical therapist.
I had the opportunity to shadow and learn from a local therapist and loved the
thought of being able to help those in pain. Being an athlete, I had also
thought it would be cool to work with athletes and help them heal from
injuries. While working at the physical
therapy clinic, I realized that physical therapy is much more than helping
athletes, its helping ALL kinds of people recover, and from a variety of
things. I met a war veteran, and he told me his story. He talked about the war,
his injuries, and his life in all aspects. Being able to sit down with him
really inspired me.
After High School, I attended Kansas State University where
I majored in Kinesiology with emphasis in Physical Therapy. When I went off to
school, my parents re-located to Oswego, Illinois. My first year at K-State I was a
student-athlete(rowing) and really enjoyed having the support of the team.
However, wanting to change my major and be closer to home, I made the decision
to transfer after the fall semester of my sophomore year to Eastern Illinois
University. I also changed my major to Health Studies with emphasis in Health
Administration with a minor in Business Administration.
This leads me to this blog. I want to be able to share my thoughts and experience in my field. I am in the middle of my schooling, I’m motivated to
learn and very excited for what is to come.
