Jovanny Ruiz
Physical Therapy Aide
Jovanny was born and raised in El Monte, California. He grew up playing many sports including baseball and basketball. When playing football in high school he injured his hip and lower back, causing him to quit football for fear of further injury. While trying to learn how to heal from his injuries, Jovanny developed a love for learning human anatomy.
After graduating high school, Jovanny attended California State University, Fullerton as an undeclared major. While exploring possible career options, he discovered the field of Kinesiology and the possibility of becoming a physical therapist. Physical therapy perfectly aligned with his passion for learning about the human body and is currently pursuing his future as a physical therapist. Jovanny will graduate from CSUF in May with a bachelors of science degree in kinesiology. After, he plans to finish his prerequisite courses at a community college before applying to PT school.
During his free time Jovanny enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, hanging out with his friends, and rollerblading.
