I am an avid sports fanatic, both as a spectator and a participant. I chose kinesiology with an emphasis on athletic training to become a physical therapist specifically for athletes. This career will give me a chance to help people and make a difference in their lives, just like what my physical therapist did for me when I incurred a serious injury to my knee while in high school.
I chose UTRGV because of the variation of people and opportunities academically. At UTRGV, I was able to achieve my dream of being able to graduate debt-free!
