Why did you choose the College of Health Sciences at Marquette? My professors really seemed to care about me. They took the time to get to know me and help me navigate through possible career choices and opportunities. Especially after changing my major, my advisor made me feel comfortable and confident about my success in the program. 

How did you pick your major/program? After my freshman year, I realized that my past major was not for me: however, I still wanted to do something in healthcare. So, I started thinking about my past experiences with physical therapy and began shadowing clinics. I discovered that this was something that I really enjoyed and could see myself doing for a long time. Since exercise physiology is the main major that pre-PT students take, I decided to change my major to exercise physiology. 

What is your favorite spot on campus? My favorite spot on campus is the Engineering Building. It is a beautiful place to study with a nice view, and it is close to Starbucks and the Common's dining hall.
