Why did you choose you Daemen?
The physical therapy program
Why did you choose your major?
I chose PT because it has been of interest to me since the 9th grade in high school.
What impact have the faculty, staff and advisors at Daemen had on you?
Daemen staff, and faculty have been helpful to me. Professors provide challenges in the classroom. My advisors have helped me keep on track with my program plan.
Do you live on campus? What has been your experience?
I am a resident on campus, first in Canavan and now in the apartments. I realized you don't make friends with everyone; however, the friends you do make are lasting friendships, they may not necessarily be your first roommate.
Have you had any internship, study abroad, service learning or academic experience (ex. Academic Festival, Research Think Tank, etc.) that you can tell us about?
I have had service learning experience. I found it rewarding to give back to the Buffalo community, and to make a difference in others lives.
What do you like best about Daemen?
Although a small campus, Daemen has much to offer. I know I am not a number here, I am me.
What are your plans after graduation?
I am hoping to either specialize in sports rehabilitation, or aquatic physical therapy, maybe a combination of both.
Favorite campus activities:
The cross country ski trip is fun, as well as the masquerade ball put on last year.
Favorite campus hangout:
The RIC or the Wick Lawn when it is nice out.
