Hi everyone! My name is Aaron, and I’m currently a sophomore Health Professions Major in the 3+3 DPT Program. I’m from Oxford, PA, but my family is from Puerto Rico, and I love being at Temple and exploring the city. I was a former Division 1 athlete on Temple’s Men’s Crew Team, and I serve on the e-board of Temple Remote Medical Area and AED (a health pre-professional honor society). I’m also involved with ESSKA (Exercise, Sport Science, and Kinesiology Association), TPPTA (Pre-Physical Therapy Association), and TU EMS. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, hanging out with friends, and trying new restaurants around the city. I also work part-time as a firefighter and as a physical therapy aide at a clinic in Center City. I’m a huge sports fan — I love the Pittsburgh Steelers, but I also follow the Phillies and Sixers. This summer, I will be studying abroad in Rome, so if you have any questions about studying abroad—or anything else—feel free to reach out! I’m excited to meet you all and welcome to Temple!
