BACKGROUND
How did you get into your field?
In 2010, I spent several weeks helping a friend who had surgery on both shoulders and one hip with her exercises at home. I also went with her to her Physical therapy appointments. The more I was exposed to physical therapy the more I loved it! I was already working as a personal trainer and teaching Pilates and was excited by the idea of combining these disciplines with physical therapy.
What is your training background?
For nine years I worked as a Physical Therapist Assistant in San Francisco. I returned to school to earn my Doctorate in Physical Therapy which allowed me to step into my role as a PT and grow in my career.
