What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow in patient care and rehabilitation, ideally in a supportive environment that values teamwork and professional development.

I am a dedicated and highly motivated physical therapy aide with hands-on experience in providing essential support to therapists and patients. My role involves assisting in the implementation of treatment plans for over 20 patients daily, ensuring that each individual receives the attention and care they deserve. I take pride in maintaining a clean and safe environment, adhering to infection control standards, and educating patients on exercises and mobility techniques.

Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology at the University of Lynchburg, I have developed a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, and patient care. My involvement in various extracurricular activities, including the National Society of Leadership and Success and the Track & Field Team, reflects my commitment to personal and professional growth. I am also fluent in Spanish, which allows me to effectively communicate with a diverse patient population, enhancing their experience and understanding of treatment.
