I've been lucky enough to be born with good health, so I wanted a career where I could enrich the lives of those who were not so lucky.
Ever since my Dad started training me during my under-11's Rugby League days I have been interested in how the body responds to exercise. I also like how physiotherapy reaches out to all areas of the population; not just those involved in sport.
I'll usually attend a tutorial, grab some lunch with friends and then study for a while before going to work. My favourite class is PHTY2062 - Physiotherapy in Respiratory and Cardiac Conditions. The number of things that can go wrong with your lungs through no fault of your own chills me. I want to be someone who can help people in those types of situations.
I think I've learned to relax outside of class better at university. The HSC was just two-years of awfully hard work! I was surprised by the free tennis courts at Cumberland - they're great!
My classmates are really studious, but a lot of fun inside and outside of class. My lecturers are passionate about their subjects and always happy to provide answers to my many questions.
Work for a hospital or a private practice for a few years, before opening up my own gym ASAP. I like the idea of calling the shots!
Develop a flexible mindset. Life can really wrestle with you, so learn when to yield and when to push!
The University of Sydney's flagship program, the Doctor of Medicine (MD), has been re-designed to provide students with greater flexibility than ever before while placing added emphasis on clinical exposure, right from week one.
