Career goals: I am still unsure about the short-term trajectory of my career, but long-term, I want to change the way healthcare is administered in our country. We spend the most of any country in the world on healthcare costs, but have nowhere near the best healthcare outcomes. We need healthcare to function less like a business, more like a service.

Why did you choose the College of Health Sciences at Marquette? I wanted to choose an undergrad major that would supplement my career as a physical therapist. With exercise science being the most appealing option, the College of Health Science offered everything I need to succeed.

How did you pick your major/program? I am kinesthetic leaner, so I learn best with hands-on material. Exercise science and physical therapy have many labs that facilitate the development of patient care skills. You learn things that can't just be taught by a textbook or lecture.

What is your favorite spot on campus? Top level of the 16th St. parking structure (on a day with good weather). It has a fantastic view of the city!
