Through my independent study, I aspire to learn how to help those suffering from similar injuries that I once had and gain experience in the field of physical therapy. I plan to utilize both my own extensive research as well as the guidance from my mentor in order to truly grasp what it would be like to become a physical therapist and spend my days helping others who are suffering the same as I did. I will demonstrate my perseverance, innovation, and patience as I gain insight to the professional world. I hope to inspire others as well as learn and grow as a person during my journey to become a physical therapist.

Biography

I am a junior at Frisco High School and I'm also an aspiring physical therapist. At Frisco, I am in Mu Alpha Theta (math Honors Society), Student Council, and National Honors Society, and I am very passionate about these clubs and the leadership roles they take within my school and community.  

I am also on the Varsity Soccer and Varsity Basketball team at Frisco High, and I play competitive soccer for DKSC ECNL 03 Girl's year-round. I love sports, and my dream is to be able to help young athletes like myself who are struggling with the mental and physical challenges of long-term injuries that require physical therapy. I've suffered an ACL tear myself, so I am more than sympathetic. 

Throughout my ISM journey, I hope to explore physical therapy and learn more about the professional world that it entails.
