Her favorite part of being a therapist is hearing patients talk about all the things they are back to doing that they couldn’t do before therapy – from going down the stairs, to getting through a workday without pain, or going back to hiking and workouts – and how much joy it brings them.
When she is not working, she enjoys hiking, camping, bike riding, working out and spending time with her dog. She is excited to be a member of the Access Physical Therapy & Wellness team and looks forward to growing with the company.
