Seasoned physical therapist with over two decades of clinical experience working in various settings including hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation centers, and predominately in home health. Having dealt with patients, their families, physicians, and multidisciplinary team members, I feel that I have exceptional communication skills which has helped me in leadership roles and in dealing with patient/customer satisfaction. Seeking roles that are predominately remote/hybrid, and feel that my ability to adapt and learn quickly will make me an asset to a variety of employers.
