What made you want to become a Physical Therapist?
I aspire to have a career in Physical Therapy because I believe the profession would allow me to positively impact one’s quality of life, while also pursuing my passion for health and kinesiology.
How do you think this program has helped you prepare for graduate school?
The 4+3 DPT program has helped prepare me for graduate school because it has encouraged me to get exposure to and build connections within the PT field early into my academic career. By the start of just my second year at Rutgers, I had already observed 80 hours between two different settings: outpatient and pediatrics. Also, this program has motivated me to network with Rutgers faculty and Physical Therapists. The early engagement encouraged by this program has helped me confirm that PT is the career I wish to pursue.
A fun fact about myself is that I have an identical twin!
