Introducing Me

I always found introducing myself to an unseen audience to be slightly awkward. However, since it is necessary for you to know me, I decided I'd suck it up and do it. So hello wonderful people of the internet, my name is Puja Patel. I'm a second year Doctor of Physical Therapy student at Touro College in Bay Shore, New York.

While I currently live on Long Island, I was actually born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. I graduated from Wayne State University in 2017 with a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology and received a minor in Public Health. As much as I love living in New York, nothing quite compares to living in Detroit. And before you say it's a crime-ridden and bankrupt city, let me tell you that Detroit is called the comeback city for a reason! I have nothing but pride for Detroit and I urge you to book your next trip to the Motor City because you will not be disappointed.

Other than my love for Detroit and the fact that I am a complete nerd, I'm just a normal 23 year old girl. I love spending an unhealthy amount of time on Netflix, spending a little bit too much money at department stores, and making questionable decisions with my friends.

I hope that you will join me in my journey for becoming a kick-ass Physical Therapist. So tag along and follow me through the many sleepless nights and study days. I started this blog because I had no idea what to expect in PT school, and with one year under my belt, I hope to help everyone who has any questions about how to survive for their 3 years of school!
