About MeHi! My name is Katie Preston and I am a senior at the University of Cincinnati. I am studying Health Sciences (Exercise and Movement) and am extremely excited to see what my future has to offer! I have always been interested in Physical Therapy due to my involvement in sports and exercise. As of right now, I plan to go on to grad school at UC and pursue this career, but I am also keeping my options open. My love for science and interest in healthcare has guided me to explore this path.
I grew up in Middletown, Ohio where i attended Bishop Fenwick High School. My Catholic upbringing has a huge part in how I have been shaped into the person I am today. I have always been used to living in a small town, going to a small school, and having my small group of friends. My freshman year at the University of Cincinnati changed that a lot for me and I loved it! Not only was I able to live independently and take on the huge responsibilities that go along with college, but I was also thrown into a big city full of new faces and experiences. I was able to make tons of new friends inside and outside of classes, learn more about who I am as a person and about my interests, and grow. One of the biggest things I've noticed about myself after my first year of college is that I have much better communication skills. I worked as a student caller at the call center at UC and was able to talk to all kinds of people and learn about their experiences at UC, as well as helping my school which was really cool. I really enjoyed interacting with alumni and I developed some strong communication and bonding skills which I will be able to carry with me throughout the rest of my life. In the future, I hope to be happily married with a job that I love and a family of my own. Until then, I plan to branch out and find out even more of who I am as a person through taking advantage of opportunities such as studying abroad and different service projects. I would love to travel to Spain at some point during my time at UC because it is something I have always dreamed of doing. In the end, I hope to be happy with my life and all that it has encompassed. My goal is to be as successful as possible and enjoy wherever life may take me. |
