Physical Therapy Aide
Masha grew up playing various sports such as basketball and swimming. She has recently begun weight lifting and gained a lot of knowledge about proper techniques when performing various types of activities and safety rules. She learned the importance of maintaining a strong form while lifting, as this will prevent injury through incorrect technique. Masha grew up and fell in love with sports, therefore she chose to become a part of it.
She is presently enrolled at Irvine Valley College, where she is majoring in Public Health Sciences. In order to become knowledgeable in this field, after her volunteer work at Kaiser Permanente and Select Physical Therapy Clinic, she now works as a physical therapist aide at Core. She studied in detail the significance of each exercise, and now assists PTs as they work with patients.
In her free time she enjoys cooking, hiking and spending time with friends and family. She loves taking trips to explore new hiking trails with family!
