Kinesiology Career Goals

My goal is to pursue a major in Kinesiology – exercise and movement science here at UW-Madison. I would then like to go on to graduate school, where I would want to work in an exercise physiology lab. Gary Diffee’s presentation on exercise physiology resonated with me, and seemed to fit with a lot of the professional goals and values that I have. One of my main takeaways from Gary’s presentation is that conducting research requires a great deal of curiosity and flexibility. This is a great match for me, as I am constantly looking to expand my knowledge. In doing research, flexibility is also very important as things do not always go as planned. I am very flexible and adaptive, so I feel this would apply very well to the field. After
