Annelise Pereira Physical Therapy Aide
Annelise is from Tracy, California. Growing up, she spent many years dancing, with ballet being a big part of her life. Being a ballerina sparked her interest in the body and movement, and is what drew her to physical therapy. Through dance, she also learned the importance of discipline, staying active, and taking care of your body.
She just graduated from UC Irvine with her Bachelor of Science in Public Health. She is currently taking a gap year before applying to graduate school to pursue her Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy. She has always been interested in health and wellness and loves learning more about the different ways to help people feel their best. While working as an aide, Annelise hopes to gain more hands-on experience, learn more about physical therapy, and build on her knowledge as she prepares for her future career.
Outside of work, Annelise loves to dance, go for walks, spend time at the beach, and bake!
