Physical Therapy Aide
Malia is from Foothill Ranch so Southern California has always been my home. She used to swim competitively and have had her fair share of physical therapy appointments; which has resulted her to take interest in the career of physical therapy.
She recently graduated from San Jose State University in May and received her Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology so her goal is to get into PT school for next year. She’s excited to join Core Performance. Learning about each patient as well as helping them live life a little better is a fulfilling feeling that she will always treasure. In Malia’s spare time she likes to go the the beach, the gym, or do a little bit of arts and crafts including painting, crocheting, and sewing.
