Get to Know Me

My patients can expect a highly motivated and energized provider who wants to establish a positive therapeutic relationship with them and is excited to get them to the sports, activities, and hobbies they are missing out on. I’m a physical therapist assistant because I love helping people, and it gives my joy to see people improve. I enjoy figuring out the “why” behind symptoms and attacking the root problem. I’m most passionate about lifelong learning and advancing my skills as a provider to give the best care I can. What I love about the community is that it continues to grow and diversify but maintains a “small town” feel where people are kind and know one another.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, traveling, cooking, and taking care of my dog, Milly. Some of the activities and hobbies I enjoy include skiing, snowboarding, sand volleyball, fitness, fishing, hunting, and watching football.
