This episode, we welcome the one and only, Tamara “Nikki” Shelton, PT, DPT, OCS, SCS, FAAOMPT. I cannot speak enough about the positive impact Nikki has made on my life, and I am so excited to share her words of wisdom. Today we will be covering the following:
- Nikki's journey as a Physical Therapist
- How to see a need and fill it
- How to advocate for others and give back
- How to find a mentor and community to pour into you
- How to find your passion and keep that fire burning when times get hard
- How to run the race, but enjoy the journey
Join us as we celebrate Black History Month this February. I believe in celebrating each other's differences and building each other up. I believe in supporting each other not just in well wishes, but in action. And I also believe in representation, and that people of all races should be celebrated.
The purpose of this podcast is to provide useful, condensed information for exhausted, time-crunched Physical Therapists and Student Physical Therapists who looking to build confidence in their foundational knowledge base and still have time to focus on other important aspects of life.
