“I chose Physical Therapy as my field of work because I like working with people and I have seen first-hand how beneficial it is. I have had physical therapy in the past due to sports related injuries. But my inspiration comes from watching my niece, who was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy as an infant, make great strides with amazing progress and improvement from her physical therapy. I feel my skills, compassion, and dedication are qualities that my patients will benefit from that will aide in their road to recovery. I also look forward to furthering my studies and knowledge as I will be pursuing a Doctorate of Physical Therapy in the future.”
