Area of Physical Therapy or work with a particular type of patient:  orthopedics, specifically the upper extremity (shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand)

Why I became a PT: I was raised in McKinney, Texas, where I attended McKinney Boyd High School. During my Junior year of High School, I was introduced to the field of physical therapy by my Medical Terminology teacher. Upon learning more about this field, I became very intrigued by the opportunity to work in the medical field and help others live life to the fullest without pain or daily limitation. My mother was the one who really helped me achieve this dream by encouraging me to go for it and helping me see that I could achieve it with hard work and determination.
