What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to lead innovative rehabilitation programs and foster team collaboration in a supportive environment.

I am a dynamic and accomplished physical therapist with extensive expertise in rehabilitation techniques and strategic leadership. My career has been dedicated to fostering professional development and aligning clinical strategies with organizational goals. I leverage my strong background in journalism to enhance communication and am committed to advancing treatment methodologies through research and innovation.

Currently, I serve as the Regional Director of Rehabilitation at Ohana Pacific Health, where I oversee rehabilitation operations across four islands. My role involves driving increased patient census and optimizing agency processes to enhance efficiency and care quality. I take pride in cultivating a collaborative culture among clinicians to uphold excellence in patient care and have successfully spearheaded the launch of a new home health branch to extend services to underserved communities.

Throughout my career, I have held various leadership positions, including Director of Rehabilitation at Aegis Therapies and Clinic Director at Ewa Beach and Westside Physical Therapy. My focus has always been on enhancing patient outcomes and strategically positioning clinics for long-term success through innovative therapies and strong community relationships. I am passionate about improving rehabilitation services and making a positive impact on patient lives.
