Why did decide to become a physical therapy assistant?
I’ve always been physically active and intrigued by the sciences. I have a BA in physical education, and I worked in the schools for ten years. I wanted to get back into sports rehab, so I got a job as an aide in a clinic and then studied physical training at the American College of Sports Medicine. After that I did a lot of fitness assessment testing. My old boss offered me a 2-year scholarship to study physical therapy assisting, and I signed a 4-year contract to work for him after I finish. A lot of companies are giving incentives for people to study in this field. So now I’m where I need to be. I love working in patient care and helping people achieve their goals so they can have a quality life.
