"The Best way to predict your Future is to create it."
Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States
The MPTA places tremendous value on our student members. The student members of today will become the future leaders of our organization. Our student members are truly creating their own future; at a very early stage in their careers they see the value in their profressional organization.
Each month the MPTA will place a spotlight on one of our tremendous student physical therapists or student physical therapist assistants. Please contact Sylvia Czuppon, MPTA Social Media Chair, if you would like to recommend a student for our Spotlight page.

~~ From earning my engineering degree as an undergraduate student, to moving to LA in pursuit of my dance and acting career, and now preparing for graduation from Washington University's physical therapy program in May, my experiences in the past and my village, which has been with me every step of the way, have prepared me for this moment where I am now. I believe some people come into this world knowing exactly what they want to be when they grow up, others take the scenic route, but in the end, we all end up exactly where we are supposed to be. With that being said, it is an honor and a privilege to be recognized as this month's student spotlight. Thank you all very much! - Kali
