Jennifer Liang

The Powell Family Foundation Scholar: Jennifer Liang

Jennifer, an immigrant child, is currently a dual-enrolled high school student at The Keystone National High School and Community College of Philadelphia.  Her motivation led her to take on the challenge of adding networking and shadowing as priorities after school hours.  Jennifer was involved with helping the community by participating in the Women's Empowerment Club, RockReach Program and at Atlantic Physical Therapy.  Her experience at Atlantic Physical Therapy solidified her passion for patient care.  In addition to excelling academically in a four-year honors program, she is a full time pre-professional ballet dancer at The Rock School for Dance Education and has danced in several performances of The Nutcracker in Philadelphia.  With her strong academic and ballet background and passion for anatomy and biomechanics of the human body, Jennifer will be attending Widener University as a pre-physical therapy major.
