Throughout my career, I have successfully collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to develop tailored care plans, significantly improving patient outcomes. My commitment to leveraging technology in healthcare has allowed me to enhance access to care for seniors and optimize rehabilitation services in various settings. I take pride in my ability to educate patients and families, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge to adhere to home exercise programs and achieve functional independence.
