Career goal: My ultimate career goal is to play and thrive in Major League Baseball (MLB). However, I also aspire to earn a major in physical therapy and a minor in wildlife management. ATU is the perfect place for me to pursue these goals because of its strong baseball program and its distinguished academic offerings in both physical therapy and wildlife management. I am committed to giving my best effort and persevering through challenges, guided by Mae Jemison’s quote: “Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imagination.”
