What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry role in physiotherapy where I can support evidence-based rehabilitation, run pre/post assessments, contribute to clinical research, and use technology-informed approaches to improve patient outcomes.

I’m a motivated fresh graduate in physiotherapy, driven by healthcare and a commitment to academic excellence. As a scholarship recipient studying in Debrecen, I’ve built a strong foundation in evidence-based practice and patient-centered rehabilitation.

In my Assistant for Physiotherapist role in the Masters degree intervention program (Dec 2023–Apr 2024), I supported pre- and post measurement of special tests and helped develop and implement evidence-based physiotherapy interventions. I administered targeted interventions, monitored patient progress, and contributed to clinical research within the program.

My research experience continued in my project at the University of Debrecen (Dec 2024–May 2025), where I investigated “The impact of core stabilization exercises on postural control and balance of healthy adults.” I designed and applied a 5-week core training program, evaluated balance and posture using clinical tests, and analyzed pre/post data to demonstrate significant improvements.

I also expanded my perspective through virtual reality physiotherapy research, participating in data collection and analysis of balance and coordination outcomes related to neurological recovery. During clinical practice at Debreceni Egytem Klinika Központ (Feb 2025–May 2025), I worked under supervision across inpatient and outpatient settings and supported treatment planning and rehabilitation programs in multiple departments.
