Bio
My interest in physical therapy began after sustaining shoulder and elbow injuries while playing baseball in high school. Through my own rehabilitation experience, I discovered the impact physical therapy can have on reducing pain, restoring function, and helping individuals return to the activities they love through movement and exercise.
I graduated cum laude from Ithaca College’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program, where I was honored with the Professional Excellence Award. I am also an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS), reflecting on my advanced knowledge and expertise in orthopedic physical therapy.
My clinical interests include sports rehabilitation, working with overhead athletes (baseball, football), runners, and active individuals looking to improve performance and return to the activities they enjoy. I also have a strong interest in post-operative rehabilitation, including rotator cuff repairs, ACL reconstructions, meniscus procedures, and total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). I enjoy helping patients navigate the recovery process, rebuild strength and confidence, and safely return to their desired level of activity.
Whether working with competitive athletes, weekend warriors, or individuals recovering from surgery, my goal is to provide individualized, evidence-based care that helps patients move better, get stronger, and return to doing what they love.

Driven by personal experience, I chose a career in physical therapy after being born with bilateral clubfeet — a condition that required multiple casts and three surgeries during my early life. Growing up, I saw firsthand the impact that dedicated healthcare professionals can have on someone’s recovery and overall quality of life. Now, I’m committed to giving back by helping others heal, move better, and return to the activities they love. My goal is to support and empower people through their recovery journeys, just as others once did for me.
