Leeds Beckett UniversityPhysiotherapy (Pre-registration) | MScI am an international student from Canada pursuing my MSc in Physiotherapy at LBU. I have a strong passion for being active and spending time outdoors, whether it’s hiking, cycling, or simply enjoying nature. Cooking is another of my interests, and I love experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. I also value meaningful conversations and enjoy connecting with others, making new friends, and exchanging ideas. In terms of my career goals, I’m excited to pursue a future as a physiotherapist in the UK, where I can apply my skills and contribute to improving people’s health and mobility. I’m also considering the possibility of returning to Canada in the future to continue my practice, and I have a long-term aspiration of opening my own physiotherapy clinic one day. I am happy to connect to talk more about life at LBU :) Aklima
