Why I love being a PT: There are so many reasons why I love being a PT but if I had to narrow it down, I'd say that seeing people get back to doing the activities that they have previously been unable to do is my favorite thing. Whether that is being able to get out of a chair without using their hands, negotiate the community without falling, or returning to their favorite outdoor activity and everything in between.
How I stay active: Yoga, swimming, and hiking, walking my dog Buddy, running, and lifting weights!
Interests: Dance, spending time with my friends and family, going on adventures with my husband, Alex, and doing pretty much anything in the sunshine!
One word that describes me: Passionate
Favorite vacation spot: Maui, HI or anywhere tropical!
