MEPN Applicant & Physical Therapy Aide | Nutrition & Human Performance Student

Tucson, Arizona, United States

About

I’m a University of Arizona student studying Nutrition and Human Performance (B.S. expected Spring 2026) on the nursing track, planning to pursue the University of Arizona MEPN program (target start: Fall 2026). I recently worked as a Physical Therapy Aide & Administrative Support at Therapeutic Associates – Bethany Physical Therapy, supporting patient care and learning clinic operations, including scheduling, billing, and referral processing. I also have experience in strength & conditioning and coaching, including an internship with the Tucson Roadrunners (AHL), where I was exposed to warm-ups, performance routines, and athlete monitoring tools in a pro environment. I’m currently seeking opportunities in healthcare where I can keep building patient-care experience while preparing for MEPN.
