The first step on this exciting path will be an Undergraduate Program at Sargeant with a concentration in Physiology. Through this program, I will gain a deeper understanding of how the body works. In addition, I anticipate gaining hands on experience working with the high caliber athletes at Boston University. For my career goals I see Boston University as the best place to be because of what Sargeant College has to offer and the fact that Boston University has some of the best athletes to work with. With many of the world's leading research facilities located in close proximity to BU, I see the potential for collaborative work. As an undergraduate at Boston University, I intend to contribute to the faculty by doing sports medicine research. I intend to focus on risk prevention and the role of performance analysis as I feel that more often than not, injuries can be prevented. Although education will be a significant part of my experience at Boston University, I will be involved with intramural sports and participate in some of the many clubs offered. By pursuing an undergraduate degree through the college of rehabilitation science, I will be taking steps towards my goal - a career in sports medicine. I am certain that Boston University will provide me an excellent education to pursue my passion and to be successful in my field of choice. Although I hope to continue doing research, I hope to one day be one of the team doctors for the Terriers.
