- Why I chose my major
I chose Human Development and Family Science because I knew it would prepare me for my future career of helping others in a healthcare setting. Through this major, I have a strong foundation for understanding individuals in different stages of life. This knowledge is essential for my aspirations of providing individualized patient care, as it has helped me recognize how motivation, family support, and life circumstances play a role in the rehabilitation process.
- What I like most about FACS
What I have enjoyed most about FACS is how the professors genuinely encourage our success in all the paths we choose to pursue. They have helped me better understand my strengths and have shown me how to connect them with my professional goals. The community I have built with my peers in FACS has also been a meaningful part of my college experience. I have formed friendships with people who inspire me and continuously motivate me to be the best student and version of myself.
- Post-graduation plans
After graduation, I plan on pursuing a career in physical therapy while learning more about the field, growing personally and professionally
