Background

About Natalie Brewer

I have always known that I wanted to work directly with people. Seeing how applying my knowledge and skills can help someone overcome a challenge or advance in some way makes my work feel valuable. I chose neuroscience as a major because I was fascinated by the role the brain played in physical rehabilitation. I learned to look beyond exterior injuries and focus on internal complications and problems surrounding a patient that may not be visible at the moment. However, I wasn’t yet sure how neuroscience would lead to a career in which I could work hands-on with people. It was during EMT training that I realized a clinical healthcare setting was where I could apply my knowledge and skills to make a direct impact in people’s lives.
