"I have past leadership experience as both a soccer player and a student. In high school, I would encourage and help my teammates on the field, while offering assistance and support in the classroom as well. I hope to carry these qualities with me throughout life as I study to become a physical therapist."
Jessica chose Seton Hall for a few reasons. She wanted her college experience to embody a second home. She chose the university because it is a relatively small Catholic institution. As for her profession, Seton Hall offers a dual degree physical therapy program. Another main reason was the location, as it is rather close to home, allowing her to visit her family often. Significantly, the leadership program offers an experience like none other. "Seton Hall's leadership program will help me become a better leader as a physical therapist, and hopefully allow me to open my own practice one day," making Seton Hall the perfect home for her.
Jessica entered the leadership program with great hopes and aspirations. She works
hard and knows the essence of a good work ethic. With this, she is a strong member
within the first Buccino Leadership Institute cohort, working towards acquiring leadership
qualities that can be used when she becomes a physical therapist. The leadership program
allows Jessica to learn beyond the classroom and develop skills to conquer the world.
In her own words, "I want to open up more and feel more comfortable directing and
teaching others through action."
Jessica is a young woman who is goal-oriented and unstoppable in achieving them. Her
greatest desire, and dream job, would be to work as a physical therapist for the New
York Yankees. Her second plan of action is to open a physical therapy office of her
own and have her father work with her. With a positive outlook on life, a drive to
succeed, and a desire for pushing the boundaries, there is no doubt with the skills
presented in the leadership program, Jessica Olsakowski will achieve her career goals.
