hi there. i’m yusra.

I’m a residency-trained, board-certified, orthopedic physical therapist with mental wellness and health equity at the center of my practice. Through this blog, I provide an unfiltered view to life as a Muslim Pakistani PT navigating her own mental health journey. I write about running, lifestyle, and more.

I also provide essay editing services for pre-health professions students!

my MISSION.

I want everyone to feel welcome, included, and empowered to make change where we need it most. Through this blog, I hope you’ll find tips and tricks to improve your own chances to getting into, and then thriving in, graduate school (be it for physical therapy, medicine, counseling, etc.). I also want to serve as representation, to show you that if I can do it, you can, too.

Need help with your application essays? I’ve got your back. I have 10+ years of editing experience and have helped many students over the years to refine their writing and find their voice. Every one of my clients thus far has been accepted into a graduate health professions program, and I hope you’ll allow me to help you be next.

Welcome to my world

 

“I would highly recommend Yusra’s editing services

for anyone looking to become more confident in their writing abilities! Yusra will go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals. She gives incredibly detailed feedback that helped me convey my ideas more clearly and encouraged me to dive deeper into how my experiences have shaped who I am today. Through working with Yusra, I became much more confident in my writing and was proud of the work I submitted as part of my DPT applications.” - ALYSSA BUSH, Duke dpt ‘24
