Summary
I am attending CSULA in pursuit of a degree in Exercise Science to focus more on Physical Therapy as my end career and educational goal. My first intended degree was in nursing; however, I found more joy in pursuing something on the therapeutic side of the medical pathway. Attended a 5-week program with American Medical Careers, pursuing CNA, CPR, and BLS certifications. Working towards becoming a physical therapist, I felt like having a CNA would help me exponentially rather than having no work experience. I'm always eager to learn new things and improve! I'm very passionate about the new route in life that I'm going to take and ready to take on all the challenges.
