Bachelor of Science, Kinesiology, 2017 

Currently a Doctor of Physical Therapy student at Plymouth State University (Class of 2020)

I am very pleased with how prepared I feel in my graduate program.  The URI Kinesiology program really helped me to learn the important facts and skills that will guide me through school to eventually become a physical therapist.  I am grateful for all of the professors who helped me along the way and can’t wait to see what the rest of graduate school holds!  PT school is definitely a lot to take in and stressful at times, but it is focused on what I want to do with a lot of hands on work, so it is interesting…and I know it will be worth it in the end.
