From personal training to physiotherapy — gaining hands-on experience shadowing abroad while learning and giving back

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to share that I’ve been accepted into a physiotherapy internship and shadowing opportunity at a clinic in Costa Rica. This experience will allow me to gain hands-on clinical exposure, learn in a new healthcare setting, and improve my Spanish through immersion.

Before studying physiotherapy, I worked as a personal trainer for over seven years, where I developed a strong interest in how the body moves, heals, and recovers. That experience motivated me to continue my education so I could better understand injury rehabilitation and help people in a more meaningful way.

The funds raised will help cover tuition and program-related costs for this opportunity. Any support—whether through a donation or by sharing this page—means more than I can say and helps bring me one step closer to my goal of working as a physiotherapist.

Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. I’m incredibly grateful
