Summary

My passion in this field has always aligned with the athletes - and my continued experience and growth in the sports PT only continues to mold my goals and ambitions further. I plan to continue expanding my understanding of the human body, performance, and clinical skills to serve this population the best that I can. More recently, my focus has shifted to education for younger, developing athletes to promote healthy, well rounded training regimens that will lead to long futures in their respective sports.
