[person:personal_statement]

I am committed to providing high-quality, individualized care that helps each person move, feel and perform at their best. My approach combines evidence-based practice with principles of strength and conditioning to support a safe return to activity while building long term resilience.

I believe that care is most effective when it is collaborative. I strive to create an environment where patients and families feel heard, supported and confident throughout the rehabilitation process. My goal is not only to help patients recover from injury, but also to equip them with the knowledge and tools needed to take care of themselves and continue to progress.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, training, playing basketball and continuing to learn and grow within the fields of physical therapy and performance. I am passionate about working with people who are willing to develop both physically and mentally to reach their full potential.
