Bio

I am currently studying at University of Delaware Physical Therapy Program to obtain my DPT. I received my Masters in Anatomy and Clinical Health Science last year. I am very interested in health care, kinesiology and entrepreneurship as I intend to establish my own Physical Therapy clinic in the future. During undergrad, I got the opportunity to research in a neuroscience lab that investigated the mechanism of Alzheimer's disease and the manipulation of targeted proteins. I was very fortunate to co-author a publication in Journal of Biological Chemistry as well. I love to travel and have been to multiple countries such as Estonia, Croatia, Spain and attended month long personal development seminars held in these countries. I have been sky diving twice and I loved every minute of it. My other hobbies include reading and hanging with my friends.
