Bio

I was diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter disease when I was 10 years old, I went through physical therapy for my knee pain in highvschool and really enjoyed my physical therapy experience and became interested in pursing a degree in physical therapy. I went tovMontclair State University for Exercise Science while working as an aide at Professional physical therapy. I went to physical therapy school at UNE in 2019 where I did 3 clinical rotations. My first rotation was in acute care at NYU Langone Rusk Rehab. There I worked primarily with patients who were post-op joint surgeries. My second rotation was in an outpatient orthopedic setting at Professional
Physical Therapy in Edison. My last rotation was in Brunswick, Maine working in a home care setting. There I worked with patients who COPD, neurological diseases, active and post COVID, and much more. My interest for outpatient orthopedic grew very strong after my second rotation.
