Bio

I started off my Occupational Therapy journey at Montclair State University, where I received a Bachelors in Exercise Science and played baseball for 4 years. Upon graduating,  I worked as an Exercise Physiologist for 2 years at the Matthew J. Morahan Health Assessment center for Athletes. I provided the following concussion testing to youth athletes and adults: ImPact testing, King Devick testing, Balance assessments, Buffalo treadmill/Bike testing, and assisted the Physical therapist with post-concussion treatments. I was also fortunate enough to speak on numerous occasions at the Special Olympics of New Jersey, Rutgers University, and the Prudential Center regarding concussion education to youth athletes, parents, and coaches. I then took my passion for concussions to Graduate School at Wesley College in Dover, Delaware, where I wrote my thesis on correlating the vestibular ocular motor screening and mild traumatic brain injuries in elderly patients following a fall. Since graduating in 2019 with my Masters in Occupational Therapy, I have been with Professional Physical and Hand Therapy specializing in Upper Extremity conditions and working closely with Physical Therapists to utilize my skills with the treatment of concussions.
