Professional background leading to career in health and wellness: 

For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in the human body and the way it moves. I led an active lifestyle growing up and knew that I didn’t want a career where I had to sit at a desk all day. I also knew that I wanted to help people. In high school, my mom suggested I shadow a physical therapist in my town and I immediately fell in love with the idea of helping people through movement and exercise. From then on, I knew that physical therapy was the career for me.

What reasons you are passionate about helping others: 

You don’t realize how much you take movement for granted until an injury takes away your ease of movement. I know how frustrating and debilitating it can be when you feel like your body is failing you, and I feel honored to be able to help people not only regain their independence and their ability to move, but to come back even better than they were before. It is such a blessing to be able to play a part in someone’s journey towards a healthier and happier lifestyle.

What do you enjoy in your free time:

I love being active and being in the sun – bonus if I can be doing both at the same time! I love hiking, running, surfing, skiing, beaching, and boating. I also enjoy cooking and spending time with friends and family.
