My name is Alex Kozich and I am a third-year Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) student at The Ohio State University. I graduated from Baldwin Wallace University in 2021 with degrees in exercise science and pre-physical therapy. My favorite experience at BW was completing an internship that allowed me to collaborate with the speech-language pathology graduate students to create exercise programs for individuals with Parkinson’s Disease. You can read more about this program here.
Since beginning my graduate education at OSU, I have worked on research studies for individuals with degenerative diseases and was recently chosen as a student intern for the Degenerative Disease Special Interest Group of the ANPT. I am very passionate about working with individuals in this population within the realm of exercise and wellness and look forward to transforming that work into physical therapy post-graduation. My goal with this project is to provide affordable and accessible virtual exercise programs for individuals with degenerative diseases, as there have been many studies that show the benefit of exercise in this population. I hope to cater to the abilities and interests of individuals at any disease state and look forward to transitioning into physical therapy care in 2024 after becoming a licensed physical therapist.
Within my personal life, I love to read, exercise (especially bike riding and rock climbing!), travel, and hike throughout national parks.
