I have been snowboarding for years and find it to be a thrilling and invigorating way to stay active and challenge myself. The rush of carving through fresh powder and performing tricks on terrain park features is something I truly love and look forward to every winter.
In addition to snowboarding, I also maintain a strong commitment to fitness through regular workouts and running. I believe that staying active with proper form is essential for both physical and mental health, and I enjoy pushing myself to new limits and achieving new goals through my workouts and runs.
Overall, my dedication to helping others to improve their physical well-being, combined with my love for snowboarding and commitment to staying active, drives me to be the best physical therapist assistant I can be.
