Personal goals : My goal is to become a sports physical therapist who helps elite athletes overcome injuries and return stronger than ever. This passion began after a back injury during my 10th-grade basketball season, which introduced me to the impact physical therapists can have on both physical recovery and mental resilience. I’ve been accepted to Emory University on a basketball scholarship and Mercer University on an academic scholarship, and I’m currently deciding between the two. No matter which path I choose, I plan to study Kinesiology and eventually earn a doctorate in physical therapy. My dream is to work with professional athletes while also promoting injury prevention and advancing the field through innovative rehabilitation techniques.
