In The End
Physical Therapy
I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with patients and be trusted
I felt uncomfortable when a patient was not paying attention and I had to bring them into focus
Northwest Athletic Director
I really enjoyed learning about the budgets and seeing some of the day to day action
I would have trouble with the organizational responsibilities of the athletic director
