Why did you become a Physical Therapist Assistant?

“I tore both of my ACLs when I was young so I can empathize with those going through an injury. I really appreciated the encouragement and relationships I had with my physical therapy team through my physical therapy journeys and I could envision myself with a career in this field. The opportunity to empower people to get healthy and back to doing what they love is my favorite part of the job.”
