Bio

I started my career in dance with a BFA from Mason Gross at Rutgers University. After working in the field for three years in arts administration and teaching dance, I decided to go back to school for Physical Therapy. I went to the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey which is now part of Rutgers University. There I earned my DPT and had the opportunity to intern in various clinical settings. I began working in August of 2013 at Optimum Orthopedics which joined with Professional PT three years ago. Since then I have worked in our Montclair, Hoboken, and Newark locations. I am now the Clinical Director of the Caldwell office.

Bio

I became interested in Physical Therapy as a way to connect my desire to help others and my interest in exercise and its effects on the human body.  I enjoy treating and participating in a variety of physical activities, particularly running, calisthenics, and weight lifting. When I want to do something less active, I enjoy baking for family and friends.

Bio

I am goal oriented, driven and a good listener who always likes to know more about ways to help people and communicate at a personal level to alleviate their pain. I learnt this from my Father, who is a Pharmacist in India and have seen people believe in him and follow his advise to get better. About Physical Therapy, I leant from my Mom as I used to practice Yoga with her and understood the connection of mind and body.
