Get to Know Me
As a physical therapist, I strive to incorporate the values of the profession and the aspirations of my patients in order to achieve a successful journey through the rehabilitation process. My goal is to have my patients be an active contributor in their care and invest in working towards their physical therapy goals to reach one’s greatest potential.
I first became interested in physical therapy when I was injured during basketball in middle school and required surgery on my knees. I spent six months in physical therapy for each surgery. What I realized is that I would have never reached my full potential as an athlete and individual if it hadn’t been for the wonderful therapists that aided in my recovery. After those experiences, I realized that I wanted to be the person who made that difference in others lives when they faced physical adversity. For that reason I decided I would become a physical therapist to be a part of the change that is needed by so many.
With my career, I am passionate about helping my patients grow and recover physically, emotionally, and mentally throughout the course of rehabilitation. Personally, my family is my rock and I strive to be a better person each day for them.
I enjoy working in a smaller community where it feels more like family. Having the ability to see patients of all ages and diagnoses is extremely rewarding and an ongoing learning experience.
Some of my favorite activities and hobbies include camping, boating, and watching sports. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.
