Bio

I grew up in Southern New Jersey where I played several high school sports as well as a few different classical music instruments. I was always in and out of physical therapy as a high school athlete and although I loved the environment and idea of physical therapy, I originally decided to major in music. I was accepted into Boston University’s music performance program, but after the first year and a half of playing at a significantly increased volume I began experiencing a series of playing related injuries which would not allow me to play at the level necessary to be a professional. I eventually decided to switch to physical therapy to help those musicians and athletes who were in my position, struggling to accomplish their goals due to pain. I rely on my background in music and sports and my personal experience as a patient throughout my life to help me treat a wide range of patients.

Bio

I was initially introduced to physical therapy when I was in high school after I interned at a PT clinic in Boston. I was drawn to the
profession over my love for playing sports and following the very successful Boston sports teams and was generally looking to be in a
field where I could be helping others. I continued to intern at various PT clinics throughout the following summers of high school
before applying to and attending Boston University’s six-year accelerated BS/DPT program. While attending PT school, I discovered
that I really enjoyed the problem-solving aspect of the profession along with the relationship-building that takes place between patient
and physical therapist which is ultimately what I find most rewarding in the time that I’ve been working. I enjoy working with all age-
ranges and orthopedic pathologies and am currently completing Level I of the Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy.

Bio

I became interested in physical therapy during my undergraduate studies in Exercise Science at Elon University. Following graduation, I took a job as an exercise technician at a physician owned practice in Stamford, CT while I applied to PT schools. I fell in love with Boston while visiting for the accepted students weekend at BU and completed my doctorate degree there in May of 2020. As a graduate of the pandemic, I took a job where the need was greatest at a nursing home in Chestnut Hill, MA in late summer 2020. At the beginning of 2021, I shifted jobs to Professional PT in Waltham, MA where I had been a student just a year before. I enjoy treating people of all ages and stages of life and empowering them with the tools to live active and be in control of their pain.

Bio

I received my Bachelor's degree in exercise science from John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio where I played collegiate baseball from 2011-2015. During that time I developed a strong interest in physical therapy and rehabilitation with volunteer hours completed with various athletic teams with the athletic training staff. I then went on to Northeastern University where I received my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2020. I currently work in both the Waltham and Watertown locations and have a strong interest in all orthopedic related injuries including headache and upper cervical spine restrictions, running injuries and the treatment of athletes. I am currently in the process of completing level I at the Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy.
