Bio

In High School, I was unable to determine a career path that I was enthusiastic about, but having been through Physical Therapy for my own injuries, I reluctantly decided to accept an internship with a local clinic. What I discovered was a professional that combined both my fascination with health and fitness, and my desire to help others. Almost immediately I decided this was the career for me. Throughout college and working professionally, I have loved being able to expand my knowledge of treatment, and continue to improve my craft. This year I am taking the next step in my Physical Therapy career, and am currently enrolled in an Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency.
