Introducton
- Place of residence:
- I am from a town in West Texas. A town named San Angelo, Texas.
- Schooling:
- I have received multiple degrees from the following schools beginning with two associates degrees (AA, AS) from Northwest Vista College and my BS in Health (concentration in Community Health) from The University of Texas at San Antonio. (San Antonio, Tx.)
- Professional work experience:
- In my past work experiences I have had the privilege to work alongside some great individuals and mentors. I have been trained and worked as a Physical Therapy technician in an outpatient physical therapy in San Antonio for 2 years. Then as I transitioned back to my hometown in San Angelo was able to work at one of the local hospitals as a certified/registered Pharmacy technician for 2 years.
- Favorite city or site that I have seen:
- My most favorite city is San Antonio Texas for all its culture, scenery, history and communities. I am hoping that my next city or site will be Italy in my upcoming trip I get to experience in October.
- One positive characteristic that makes me feel good about myself and helps me persevere:
- I am very determined to never give up and keep striving forward to reach my goals and dreams. Even when times get tough I always remind myself that this is a test and you are stronger.
- What I expect and hope to gain form the course:
- What I expect and hope to gain from this course IPE 7316-900 Women's Health and Well-Being is to learn more on the overall health of women of ages, also how I will be able to promote the holistic approaches into and throughout the environmental, physical, psychological, emotional health and social relationships form beginning to the end. I hope this will help me become a better future physical therapist and health professional when it comes to treating patients.
Erica,
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to "meet" you in this course and to see another fellow West Texan in the class. I think you will bring some interesting perspectives to these discussions with your backgrounds in physical therapy technician along with the pharmacy side of your experience. I look forward to learning from your perspectives and contributions to this course.

ReplyDeleteHi Erica! Sounds like you have tons of experience in a handful of different settings! I am looking forward to learning from you and your experiences throughout this semester. Also, I'm extremely jealous that you get to go to Italy!
ReplyDeleteHi there Erica! I have never heard of San Angelo, TX. and I am your state neighbor in New Mexico! It was really nice to read about you and get to meet you. I am looking forward to working with you in this class and reading more of your blogs!
ReplyDeleteErica,
ReplyDeleteI agree, San Antonio is awesome! I am excited to learn some perspective from an PT- I am an OT. I have had my share of great mentors as well, and they can really make all the difference. The guidance they provide can propel your professional career, and well as personal growth, much quicker than planned. I can't stress the importance of having a good mentor enough! I am excited to get to know you further. Enjoy your semester.
Hi Erica, it's nice to learn such interesting things about you. It's great that you have been able to work in several different healthcare fields and have continued down that path. I'm sure you will find different aspects from each stop along this journey will contribute to your future profession of physical therapy. I share the quality of achieving goals, despite the difficulties that may be met along the way. I look forward to learning from you this fall!
