Olivia Melao

I am a senior at The College of New Jersey majoring in Kinesiology Health Science. I am involved in the OT/PT Club and am a member of the sorority Zeta Tau Alpha. My interest in physical therapy—especially dog PT—began in sixth grade, and it has been my dream career ever since. Through experiences in both outpatient and inpatient clinics, I have discovered that I want to work as a physical therapist with people while also pursuing dog PT on the side. Physical therapy runs in my family: my mom is an inpatient PTA, and my sister, Julia, is a PT at Progression! Outside of academics, I enjoy playing soccer, working out, and spending time with my roommates. Most of all, I love my family and my dogs.
