“I was born and raised in Pell City, so I am excited to give back to the community that has supported me throughout my journey to becoming a PT! My journey to becoming a physical therapist began when I was 14 years old as a patient. I returned as a patient again at 16 and asked my physical therapist if I could work as a physical therapy technician. I began working as a tech and quickly fell in love with the atmosphere and the responsibilities of a physical therapist. There was never a moment when I consciously chose to pursue this career; it more or less chose me. However, I continued to choose physical therapy during the challenging times it took to get here, because I love serving others and helping my patients achieve their goals.”
