Why I love being a Physical Therapist: 

As someone who has grown up dancing since I was a little girl, I have seen many individuals give up what they love due to injuries or physical setbacks. Physical therapy has given me the knowledge and platform to be able to help people from all walks of life to regain their strength and ability to return to the life they love and the activities that bring them joy. Nothing makes me happier than to be a part of that journey. We are all given one body to carry us through life; I am a firm believer we should make the most of it.

Why I love being a Physical Therapist: Growing up, I had so many different versions of who I thought I would become. At different points, I wanted to be an astronaut, an assistant coach under José Mourinho at Chelsea FC, the number-one tennis player in the world and so many other things. Through all of that self-discovery, though, I realized there was one thing that stayed the same: I wanted to make people smile and help them feel a little better, no matter what I ended up doing. I ultimately chose the path of becoming a Physical Therapist because it brings together so many things I have always loved like problem solving, connection and teamwork. I love working alongside my patients, listening to what matters to them, and figuring out together how we can help them get back to doing the things they love. 

How I stay active: If I’m being completely honest, one of the selfish reasons I chose Physical Therapy instead of other healthcare career path was to keep moving in my own life! I am definitely not someone who spends hours in the gym every day, but I enjoy staying active through tennis, walking and swimming. 

Interests: Tennis, swimming, walking, music, and exploring new ideas and places.

One word that describes me: Curious

Favorite vacation spot: Anywhere with warm weather, a beautiful beach, and culture I’ve never experienced before. I love being somewhere I can relax by the water while also exploring the local food, traditions, and way of life.
