Natalie Farah, University of the Sciences 2015 (PT track)

"After volunteering at PAPT for a summer, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in physical therapy. It was definitely a great experience seeing my dream job first hand. All the therapists were so friendly and helpful to me and the patients. They made a great atmosphere for therapy and learning. Volunteering at PAPT helped to give me motivation to do well in my PT classes at school and progress through the program with confidence."
