Personal Statement
I am sincerely motivated to increase the awareness of our specialty by collaborating with other specialists in the community to ensure a true well-rounded, interdisciplinary approach to patient care. My focus is not only patients: I work closely with families to reach common goals in achieving optimal care and function. The brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones and muscles affect physical function, emotional health and social well-being when injured, and my role is to find solutions to make life easier for both the patient and their family.
