I’m a recent graduate of the Krannert School of Physical Therapy at UIndy and am looking for a fulfilling career working in an inpatient setting with children as a physical therapist.
Emma Newlen, PT, DPT
Outside of school, I spend every moment of time with my dog Willow, she is a 3 year old Great Dane who is a large personality in what she thinks is a tiny body.
My dream would be to work with infants in the NICU setting. Through my experience, I have developed a deep passion for helping people, with a special interest in working within an inpatient setting. I hope to work diligently to impact our most vulnerable populations through empathy and effective practice.
