ABOUT SAMANTHA CASTANEDA
Hi! My name is Sam Castaneda and I’m a recent BSc Kinesiology grad from the University of Calgary. I’ve taken a wide scope of courses, from anatomy, physiology, nutrition and biomechanics, as well as adapted physical activity, dance and health promotion, strength training science and more. I’m particularly interested in the fields of rehabilitation and disability, especially in the fields of dance and pediatrics. I’ve supplemented my coursework in many ways, through practicums and paid experience. I currently am a physiotherapy aide, and I also work as a research assistant in injury studies for both dance and rugby.Outside of the classroom, I am passionate about my involvement in the Filipino community. I’ve been on the executive board for the University of Calgary Filipino Students’ Association, and I’m the current co-president of this year’s team.When I’m not working, you can find me planning my next trip, finding a new spot to eat in the city, or trying different ways of staying active.I’d love to chat and connect regarding opportunities with other students and professionals who are passionate about health, wellness, and improving quality of life!
