Zach Roberts
About me: I graduated from Indiana University in 2024 with a degree in Exercise Science and
Epidemiology. My passion for research started my senior year at IU, where I participated in
qualitative research on healthcare access to physical therapy with electronic medical records.
After I graduated, I came to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I am currently
pursuing a DPT/MPH dual degree. Alongside my education, I am a Teaching Assistant for the
Integrative Biology department at UW-Madison.
What Motivates me: I have an extensive background in child care, as I worked at a preschool for
more than 3 years. On top of this, I had the opportunity to shadow pediatric physical therapy
prior to PT school. These experiences made me discover my passion for pediatric healthcare, and
it is my goal to contribute to improving the quality of life for many children. I am also motivated
by engaging with my peers and establishing meaningful relationships with those around me.
