I became a Physical Therapist and Athletic Trainer because...

"As a Physical Therapist and an Athletic Trainer I have treated injuries from on-the-field through rehabilitation and return to play. I enjoy using a hands-on approach, working with athletes, facilitating healing. It is rewarding to help clients to meet new challenges and return to the activities that they love."

What's most exciting about my job?

"I know that my work will help others achieve a healthy and active lifestyle. I enjoy talking with and treating the people in my community."

Interests

"I love to compete in off-road triathlon and adventure racing, to race mountain bikes, and to travel with my husband. The best therapy is a day on the lake with friends."
