Biography

My name is Ileana Flores Delgado and I was born and raised in Aurora, Colorado. I am a proud Coloradan native! I am majoring in Sports and Exercise Science and minoring in Psychology. After I graduate, I would like to attend PT school in order to get my doctorate in Physical Therapy. I would like to be a physical therapist for a professional sports team (preferably a soccer team) as well as open my own practice with both athletic rehabilitation and psychological services. I truly think helping the mind recover apart from physically recovering from an injury is the best way to get back on your feet. An interesting fact about me is that I love life. I love the beauty of it and it makes me smile. I believe that we have the power to make our life as beautiful as can be!
