I look forward to working with the faculty at Texas Woman's University and participating in challenging research and clinical work.
As a consultant and expert witness, I will be able to apply my "healing power" in whole new ways: not only by offering quality physical therapy but also by offering the psychological and social support that derives from professional expertise. Moreover, as a consultant in the corporate or governmental sectors, I can help organizations save vast amounts of money. For example, my recommending improvements in workplace environments and health and safety regulations, organizations can avoid lawsuits, and ensure a healthy, productive workforce. Whether I work with labor unions or with corporate staff, my expertise as a highly specialized physical therapist will continue to benefit others.
My experience and prior education as a professional therapist provides me with hands-on as well as...
However, I have little understanding of organizational culture or politics, the realm which I now seek to enter. So far, my professional career has focused on healing individuals, helping them recover from debilitating back pain and other work-related injuries. As I accelerate my career, I will be working with large groups of people, applying what I have witnessed in a therapeutic setting to the development of policies and regulations that can prevent injuries in the first place. My occasional shyness might initially be a detriment in the application of my new skills, as I imagine I will have to engage in public speaking as a specialist. However, in time my stage fright will give way and I will be able to confidently address large groups with professional aplomb. I look forward to working with the faculty and my fellow PhD candidates at the university and I thank you for your consideration.
