Why I love Physical Therapy:

“As an athlete growing up, I had several sports injuries which eventually introduced me to physical therapy. I had always seen myself in the medical field and loved the idea of getting to incorporate sports and strength training into a future career. I am grateful God has led me to a career that I enjoy coming to work.”
