I am attending Wayne State University studying Exercise and Sport Science. I have a strong passion for sports, health, and human movement, which has inspired my goal of pursuing a career in sports physiotherapy and sports medicine. Through my experiences as a basketball player, team captain, and co-op student in a chiropractic clinic, I have developed an interest in helping athletes recover, prevent injuries, and perform at their best. I am excited to continue building my knowledge and skills while pursuing a career in sports medicine. Nyobi Lewis received the 2026 The Hour-A-Day Study Club Scholarship of $2000.
