  What I Do

  My philosophy of care is very straightforward, it is that the patient comes first always.

  My clinical interests include Orthopedics - all ages, Sprinting, Industrial Rehab, and Aquatic Therapy.

  Why I Love My Work

  What I enjoy most about my job is the patients. The relationship I get to create with them as well as the joy that comes to their face when they are finally able to reach their goals, fills my cup every day.

  My grandfather and my cousin were my primary motivators that drove me into Occupational Therapy. They both had/have a disability that OT was heavily a part of. I wanted to help people stay active and independent in their daily lives. I chose hand therapy because your upper body- arms and hands drive a lot of your quality of life and independence. The upper extremity is very intricate which also brings a challenges to my daily job ensuring that I am constantly learning and problem solving to provide the best for my patients.

  My hobbies include being with family, gardening, going to the lake and fitness.
