  • Why did you choose Rutgers DPT 4+3 Program?: I chose the Rutgers DPT 4+3 Program because of the numerous resources and support that it will provide me during the following semesters. I also really enjoy how it allows us to apply to graduate school a year earlier than our counterparts not in the program. Completing both undergrad and graduate school through Rutgers, I feel, will provide a smooth transition from each stage of schooling.

What made you want to become a PT? 

Being an athlete throughout high school and dealing with my fair share of injuries, I became intrigued at how much stretching, plyometrics, and treatments can vastly affect the way in which your body reacts to pains/injuries. With this heavily peaking my interest, I choose to volunteer at a physical therapy rehabilitation center and that is where it confirmed my passion for this field. Seeing how much of an influence physical therapists have on a patient and how they can positively change someone's life was so rewarding. I want to be able to make a positive impact everyday, and I know by becoming a physical therapist I will be able to accomplish that.

Fun fact/interest/hobbies:
