Certifications: N/A

Clinical Specializations/Interests: Vestibular Therapy, Balance, Orthopedics 

Why I love being a PT: There are so many reasons why I love being a PT but if I had to narrow it down, I'd say that seeing people get back to doing the activities that they have previously been unable to do is my favorite thing. Whether that is being able to get out of a chair without using their hands, negotiate the community without falling, or returning to their favorite outdoor activity and everything in between.

How I stay active: Yoga, swimming, and hiking, walking my dog Buddy, running, and lifting weights!

Interests: Dance, spending time with my friends and family, going on adventures with my husband, Alex, and doing pretty much anything in the sunshine!

One word that describes me:  Passionate

Favorite vacation spot: Maui, HI or anywhere tropical!

   Education:

Certifications: Myofascial decompression (MFD or cupping)

Clinical Specializations/Interests: Firefighter rehab specialist (recent with central pierce program)

Why I love being a PTA:

I love being able to make an impact on people’s lives and help them return to activities they weren’t able to perform due to injury or lack of motivation. I also love the mental and physical components of physical therapy, both therapies are enmeshed so I like incorporating both into my practice as able.

How I stay active: Hiking, yoga, recently rock climbing (in a gym)

Interests: Manual photography, quality time with family/friends, training with my dog (beagle 1.5 years old), trying new things/adventures.

Trying to get more into reading, although it's a bit of a struggle to find things that keep my interest.

Caring or thoughtful

Inside the country: Olympic national forest
