Bio

I grew up playing soccer and played soccer in college at a D2 level at NYIT. I understand and embrace the athletic mindset. I enjoy working with athletes and the orthopedics sports population. I began with Professional Physical Therapy in 2010 as an Aide in the Great Neck office. I graduated with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2013 and worked with Professional as a Full Time therapist in our Mamaroneck office. Then worked in our Merrick office for many years before being asked to open the Rockville Centre office in 2017. I also worked in the St. Johns University training room with ATCs as a Physical therapist for the student athletes. I am passionate about helping my patients alleviate their pain and return to the activities they enjoy!

Bio

My path to becoming a physical therapist began in high school. As a three-sport varsity athlete, injuries began to happen and take a toll on my performance. A suggestion from my local orthopedic, I went to my first physical therapy session, which opened my eyes to this incredible profession. I was able to see the power of incorporating strength training and rehabilitation to improve a person’s life. As my athletic career continued as a Division I varsity athlete, I was able to continue my education and path to physical therapy by majoring in Biology. Within the coursework I had to volunteer in the healthcare field which gave me the opportunity to see if the career would be worth it… It was. I continued my education at Touro College where I received my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. While at Touro College, I dedicated my time and education to performing research on assessing likelihood of ACL tears and rehabbing tears, throwing angles for overhead athletes, and rehab practices for multiple surgical techniques. While in school I had multiple clinical affiliations that focused on manual therapy and orthopedic practices, including my last affiliation at Professional Physical Therapy. After graduating in the top 10 of my class and receiving the Maimonides Award, recognition for demonstrating an ultra-high level of professional ideals of a practitioner of the health sciences, I accepted a job at Professional Physical Therapy. Within my time at Professional I have performed continued education to focus on multiple manual techniques, become a Titleist Performance Instructor, and Olympic weightlifting techniques certification. I am passionate about meeting my patients where they are on their health and rehabilitation journey, and working together to build back strength, confidence and performance ability to live strong, healthy lives.

Bio

Through great mentorship and having gone to physical therapy myself due to personal injury as a collegiate basketball player, I
decided while studying Health Science at Merrimack College that I wanted to pursue a career in Physical Therapy. Before starting PT
school, I spent a year abroad in Cork, Ireland with the Sports Changes Life program, where I played basketball professionally,
volunteered through sport and got my Master’s in International Business. I then moved back to the US and began my Physical
Therapy school journey at Marist College in 2018. I started with Professional Physical Therapy in 2021. I am interested in neurologic,
orthopedic and aquatic therapy and have a strong passion for helping others.
