Mauricio Armendariz, PTA

"I was first introduced to physical therapy while pursuing a bachelor's degree in exercise science at UTEP. I love sports and knew I wanted to do something involved with athletes. I began to meet PT students at UTEP, and it inspired me to pursue the PTA program at Western Tech."

​"Upon starting my observation hours at several clinics, I soon discovered my passion for helping others through physical rehabilitation. At the time, I had no idea, but I immediately knew my heart was in it to help others and help them achieve their independence."

"As I begin my career, I hope to grow as a therapist and continue to help people reach their greatest potential."
