April Ruiz - Physical Therapy Assistant

Q1) What led you to work in this field?
Ans) I played a lot of sports growing up (Basketball,Baseball,Football) and suffered concussions along with multiple shoulder dislocations. I always went to my Physical Therapist after these injuries. The first time I dislocated my right shoulder, my PT advised me to not play in my next tournament. I did not listen and had an even worse dislocation. I was set on Physical Therapy after that. Now my goal is to provide great patient care and be a reliable source for prevention/progression of injuries.

Q2) If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
Ans) I would pick the ability to teleport so I could be wherever I want, whenever I want.

Q3) Share the best piece of advice anyone has ever given you
Ans) My Grandpa always says, “If there is a will, there is a way”. I always think of this when I am achieving new goals. There will always be obstacles, but I know I can make it through by putting the time and work in.

Q4) What activities do you participate in over the weekend?
Ans) KI like to play Basketball any chance I get. I also like to lift weights and go on runs. I like to watch any football/basketball games, and listen to music. I also spend the majority of my weekend spending time with my friends and family. I like to stay busy and I wish there was more time in a day.

Q5) If you could quickly and easily learn any new skill, what would it be?
Ans) It would be learning how to sing or how to play an instrument. I am always listening to music and singing out loud, but I just want to sound like a pro . If I were to pick an instrument it would be the piano.
