Summary
I am a current Rehabilitation Intern seeking to expand my patient care experience as I work toward my goal of becoming a Physical Therapist. I recently graduated with a B.S. in Human Biology and am BLS certified. In my current role, I provide clinical support under therapist supervision, guide patients through prescribed exercises, assist with patient communication, and support daily clinic operations. Through my rehabilitation, residential life, and basic needs experience, I have developed strong skills in patient support, mobility assistance, transfers, customer service, and administrative coordination within fast-paced service environments.
