I worked in the sports industry after completing my Bachelor’s degree, then decided I wanted to go into a field where I could help people every day. I saw my dad go through PT for a hip replacement and as a former fitness instructor, I helped him through some of his home exercises. At this point, I decided to go back to school to pursue a career in physical therapy. As for my background, I was a dancer all growing up and was a member of my high school’s pom team. I was a captain of the University of Michigan pom team while an undergrad and after graduating in 2018, started coaching a high school varsity pom team. I am passionate about coaching and helping people achieve their goals through physical therapy and patient care.
