Hi, My name is Ali! I am a junior, Health and Exercise Science major. I plan to go graduate and go to graduate school for physical therapy, which I am really excited about. I hope to one day go into pediatric PT, because I love working with little kids, although I would be just as happy to work with any other age group! I have had two internships so far, and loved them both so much. My first I got to work with little kids, My favorite part was one of the little boys would ask for me every day if I weren’t there, or was working with another patient. I thought that was the most precious thing ever. My other internship was at an outpatient clinic, and my favorite part of that one was this old man who always came in and joked around with me and the other interns.
I am really excited about this semester because I decided to add a psychology minor to my degree. Ever since high school I have really enjoyed my psych classes, and even thought at one point that I wanted to me a psychiatrist. Now it's great because I get to take three more classes that I know will keep my interest!
When I am not at home, I miss my puppy at home. She’s not exactly a puppy since she’s 12 years old, but I still count her as one. Her name is Lucy and she’s a Black Lab.

My roommate at school has a dog that stays with us. His name is Chief, and he is a German shepherd. He’s cute, but a little rambunctious. Every morning he greets me by jumping up on me and biting either my hands or my arms somewhere, so I usually have about a dozen scratches at any given time.

One day I hope to have a Bernese mountain dog. I’m not sure when I acquired my obsession, but now that is one of my goals in life. I love that they are so big and cuddly looking!
I look forward to getting to learn a lot about some of y’all too!
