Jake McFarland
My name is Jake McFarland and I am a student at the University of St. Mary Stefanie Doctorate of Physical Therapy Program. I became interested in physical therapy when I injured my low back my freshman of high school year during baseball season. My passion for physical therapy and sports advanced when I went on to continue my education and play college baseball for Garden City Community College and Centenary College of Louisiana. During my Junior season I tore my labrum in my pitching shoulder. After a year of physical therapy, I came back and had an All-Conference season and even continued my career to play professionally. I look forward to the experience I will gain at Lonestar Rehabiliation to help me achieve my DPT in May 2019.

LaShaundra Wainwright
I am currently a student at the University of North Texas, and upon graduation I plan to attend Physical Therapy School. I thought I knew what I wanted to do when I entered college, but life had a different plan for me. As I began to explore other outlets of medicine, not just becoming a doctor. My high school clinical teacher was a physical therapist and seemed to enjoy it. I started exploring the world of physical therapy by volunteering at LoneStar rehabilitation, and ended up finding a new passion. I hope to enrich peoples lives in physical therapy with compassion as they regain their strength to do daily functions normally again.

I plan to take my GRE this summer and apply to PT school next fall while gaining experience in a physical therapy clinic in the meantime. I have always known that I wanted to be in the health care field and I have found physical therapy to be the perfect niche for me within the health care field because I love the physical and hands on aspect of physical therapy. I also have a current job as a tutor in which I have worked for the past four years where I teach children with learning disabilities and even college students that are having trouble with classes.
In my free time I love to fish at lake Ray Roberts and at Lewisville lake although I prefer salt water fishing. I also love jogging to relief stress from school and studying.

Silas Mimba
I am a student PTA at Kaplan College, and I am at my first of three clinical rotations. Prior to enrolling for the PTA program, I graduated from UNT with a bachelor in Education, majoring in Kinesiology. My goal is to become a Physical therapist in the very near future. I chose to start with the PTA program because as we all know it is very difficult to get into a PT program. My plan is to bridge into the PT program after a couple of years of experience as a PTA. Working as a PTA will also give me enough time to decide on what discipline I would like to practice in as a PT.

I really enjoy seeing the improvement of the individuals I get to work with when I have the opportunity to volunteer. I first became interested in the Therapy world when I tore my achilles tendon in High School and had to get therapy. I knew from then on I wanted to be in the therapy world so I started shadowing different types of therapist and loved Physical Therapy. Going into college and taking Kinesiology classes it help me understand and love physical therapy even more. I am excited to get hands on experience in Lonestar Rehabilitation.

I am very blessed for this opportunity and excited to see where the future takes me.
Noel Dasari
I am currently a senior at the University of North Texas, and after graduating in May 2013 I plan to attend which ever Physical Therapy School accepts me! I am 22 years old, born on Christmas day, and a huge sports fan, especially basketball. Coming into college I was a Math major planning to be an Accountant, but as years passed I realized I really loved sports medicine and that this is something I can do for the rest of my life, so I switched my major to Kinesiology. This was the best decision I ever made because helping people is something I just like to do and I also get to build cool relationships with others. I have volunteered at other PT centers, but LoneStar Rehabilitation is by far the best place I’ve been at.

Kyle Kretzer
I am attending Brightwood College in Dallas,Tx as a Physical Therapist Assistant Student. This is my 3rd clinical rotation (last one) and 2nd out patient clinic. I became interested in physical therapy when i saw a tv show called American Muscle. The owner Mike Barwis, owner of Barwis Methods, takes all patients from celebrities to kids. Watching someone come in that was told they had 3% chance of ever walking again, and looking at the joy from him and the patients as they take their first steps is amazing. I was born in St. Joesph MO, and moved to Texas when i was about 2. Former military (NAVY) and served for 6 years with 1 tour in Afghanistan.

I plan and hope to become a physical therapist in the future. My goal is to own a successful physical therapy clinic and help everyone get better! I decided to volunteer at LoneStar Rehabilitation to gain hands on experience and further my knowledge about the physical therapy profession. Another reason I decided to volunteer at LoneStar Rehabilitation was to learn more about the Mckenzie Method and how it works. The moment I realized I wanted to pursue a career in PT was when my friend’s brother regained the ability to walk again after a motor vehicle accident because of physical therapy. I was amazed on how physical therapy could do amazing things for people and I want to be able to be apart of that. I am very passionate about physical therapy and hope to graduate with a DPT from a physical therapy school.

Sunita Sudhakar
I am very much interested in physical therapy as a career. However, this was not always my passion. In fact, it has only been my passion since my senior year of college. Before that, I was almost 100% certain that I wanted to go for medicine, and therefore I majored in biology. However, beginning my junior year of college, I started taking kinesiology courses and soon I realized that I was falling in love with kinesiology/exercise science, and then I felt that I would rather pursue a career related to kinesiology. This sparked my interest in physical therapy. After I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Southwestern University (in Georgetown, TX) in 2008, I spent a couple of years at Texas Woman’s University (TWU) as a post-baccalaureate student, taking many psychology and kinesiology courses and trying to better prepare myself for physical therapy school. I am currently in the process of earning my Physical Therapy Aide Diploma and my Fitness and Nutrition Certificate from Penn Foster Career School, which is an online/distance learning institution located in Scranton, PA. I am really hoping to get into physical therapy school very soon to fulfill my passion of getting the education that I need in order to become a very successful physical therapist.

Alana Hutchens
I am currently a senior at the University of North Texas majoring in Biology in the Forensics Program and have always wanted a career in the health field. When I started college I thought I knew what I wanted to do which was be a doctor but through the years I have looked into other possibilities in the health field. Since I love playing and being around sports I would like to incorporate that into my career as well. I am interested in the field of physical therapy and how they work with other health professionals as a way to help people with sports injuries get back to being active.
Dalawnia Johnson
I am currently a senior at the University of North Texas majoring in Kinesiology. After graduation I plan on attending Physical Therapy school at Texas Women’s University. I changed my major from Psychology to Kinesiology after a summer of going to physical therapy appointments with my grandmother. I’ve always had a passion for being able to make others feel better and help to stay on their daily routines. Also with having two brothers that play sports; I just want to be able to help them out and get back on the field quicker. In the future I eventually want to work with a professional team, preferably football or basketball, and then later have my own practice. I think that being at Lonestar will help me get the experience that I need in order to be successful in school as well as in my career.
Ashley Emrick
I am a recent graduate of the University of North Texas with a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology/Pre-Physical Therapy and a minor in Health Promotions.

I will soon be pursuing a Masters in Biomedical Engineering followed by a Degree in Physical Therapy. I hope to achieve my goal of one day working with active duty and veterans of the military.
Alysa Whitaker
I am currently taking prerequisite classes for entrance into a Doctor of Physical Therapy program. In 2007 I graduated Cum Laude with a B.A. in Journalism-Public Relations. I worked in sales and management for three years where I experienced a great amount of dissatisfaction because I was not helping people. At that point I realized that I was a healer, and my calling was in medicine. After visiting a physical therapist for a cervical strain I became a believer in the power of mechanical medicine. This experience inspired me to embark on the road toward becoming a physical therapist. As a PT I will be able to combine my love for science with my passion for people. My long-term goal is to either open my own practice or team with a long-term care facility.
Yuliana Alfaro
Currently, I am a Kinesiology and Spanish double major at the University of North Texas. I first learned about physical therapy after I tore my left ACL, had surgery, and started a rehabilitative program. While at first I had doubts about recovering, my physical therapist guided me through the process and encouraged me. Since then I’ve been interested in influencing others to overcome their injuries and become stronger.
Andrew Tran
I am soon to be an Alumni of the University of North Texas at Denton with a Bachelors of Arts & Science degree in Kinesiology with a minor in Health Promotion. I have been with LoneStar Rehabilitation since May 2009. When I came to UNT in 2007 I was not sure what I wanted to do. Volunteering and working at LoneStar Rehab has confirmed what I want to do with my career after college. I always wanted to help people get back up on their feet and back to their daily living activities. I believe that a career in Physical Therapy will help me pursue my goal. In the upcoming year I will be applying to multiple Physical Therapy schools in Texas to continue my education and to begin my career.

My goal is to gain as much experience as I can, because I want to be the best I can be.
Catherine MacGregor
I am currently an undergraduate at Texas Woman’s University majoring in Kinesiology/Pre-Physical Therapy Fast Track. In summary, my major means I will graduate after 3 years of college and 3 years of PT school. I play soccer for my university and am in the Kinesiology Club. I became interested in physical therapy as a career after sustaining an injury while playing soccer and having to experience rehab personally. When my grandmother began showing signs of early-onset dementia she moved in with my family, and I have assisted in her care ever since. Due to the personal connection, I intend to specialize in geriatrics in PT school.

I transferred from Texas Tech to The University of North Texas in 2013 and now am a senior studying Kinesiology. I have hopes of becoming a PT and owning my own clinic. Upon graduation I plan on attending the UTA masters program of Athletic Training, and then apply to PT school.
In the beginning of my college education I wanted to be a mechanical engineer, however math was not my strong suit and my mother who works for Cooks Children's in Ft. Worth gave me the opportunity to shadow a PT. After those days of shadowing I saw so many things and fell in love with the profession and decided to follow it.
I work full time at Ben E Keith, intern at Seniors in Motion, and am a full time student and now with the help of Matthew Niemiera will continue to learn until I graduate in May 2015.
Susan Kurian
I am an undergraduate student at the University of North Texas and I plan to be in Physical Therapy school after graduation. I used to be Pre-Pharmacy but that was just not meant for me. Physical therapy really caught my attention during the second semester of my freshman year and from then on, I saw myself becoming a Physical Therapist. My hobby and stress reliever is basketball, I love to meet new people and help in any way that I can. Being at Lonestar is really helping me love physical therapy more and more. Having a job as a physical therapist would be a huge blessing and I just cannot wait to hopefully open my own practice one day!
Jenna Bigbie
I am currently a student at Texas Woman’s University pursuing my degree in Kinesiology/Pre-Physical Therapy. After I earn my bachelor’s degree (hopefully in December 2014), I plan to attend Physical Therapy School. I declared Kinesiology as my major after my sophomore year of college after the realization that I wanted to pursue a career in which I could help people hands on. I’ve always been physically active and have a great appreciation for the healing process within the body and I felt that physical therapy was a great way to merge all of these things. When I’m not working or going to classes, I love to work out and play Ultimate Frisbee.

I hope to gain hands-on experience here as well as the skills to work with and communicate with patients.
Denyenoh Wreh
I am currently an undergraduate at Texas Woman’s University in the Kinesiology/ Pre-Physical Therapy program. I am blessed to have worked my way through obstacles of being a single parent teen and having to work a full -time job to put myself through college. Now I am only two semesters from receiving my Bachelor of Science with the intensions of attending Hardin Simmons Physical Therapy School. What directed my decision to become a physical therapist was my visit to Ghana. While I was there, I saw the brutal conditions that people with physical disabilities and limitations had to endure day to day. I also learned that many of their extreme conditions stemmed from lack of proper care for their initial injury which was something minute. As a physical therapist I would like to return back to Ghana and other counties in Africa to introduce and educate them on how to live a physically healthy lifestyle and not always depend on home remedies.
Travis McGee
I am a student attending Brightwood College in the Physical Therapists Assistant program. I have always been interested in physical therapy. I am working to one day becoming a physical therapist. Volunteering at Lonestar Rehab under the observation under Matthew NieMiera has given me a greater understanding about the field of physical therapy.
Michael Barker
I am currently attending Kaplan College, studying to become a Physical Therapist Assistant. I will be graduating in November, 2013. I realized my calling was to work with special needs children while volunteering with them at my church. With a little research, I learned of the positive affect that physical therapy had on the development of these precious gifts of God. After 22 years in the construction industry, I decided to make a career change, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Being a full time student, husband and father of 4 daughters, I don’t have much free time, but I try to find time for my passion, mountain biking.
I am very excited to be at Lonestar Rehab. I know this will be an awesome learning experience.
