  • Why did you choose Rutgers DPT 4+3 Program?: The physical therapist that took care of me during my rehab went through the Rutgers program, and since he did such a good job with me I figured the program he learned from must have been pretty good as well.

What made you want to become a PT?
I am very interested in how the human body functions and how different stimuli affect the human body. I have had my labrum repaired along with my ACL so I've spent over 2 years recovering from my injuries in a PT environment. During treatment I found the many different exercises and treatment methods very interesting and encouraging. A lot of the exercises and treatment methods seemed odd at first since they aren't typically seen in a normal gym. However, the different treatment did wonders for my shoulder and knee. I would like to fully understand why the different treatments helped me improve and hopefully pass on the joy I had recovering to others.

Fun fact/interest/hobbies:
For hobbies I play basketball and work out often. I read manga and watch a lot of anime in my free time. I'm interested in the human body and how it functions.
