Chrysta T. Lloyd

As an experienced physical therapist with expertise in sports and orthopedics, a strong academic foundation, and a commitment to fostering the development of future therapists and leaders, I am eager to contribute to an innovative Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program. My unique blend of clinical, educational, and leadership skills positions me to shape the future of physical therapy professionals and promote a culture of excellence and inclusivity within the program. I am excited to collaborate with your team to advance the DPT program's mission and impact future researchers in the field of physical therapy and health science.
