Plans
Building on the experience of having a significant injury with surgery followed by physical therapy, my future plans are to pursue a career as a Physical Therapist, focusing on helping dancers and others prevent / return from injury. I will be attending a 3 year undergraduate / 3 year doctoral program leading to achievement of this goal.
