What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an orthopedic-focused, evidence-based outpatient role where mentorship and continued learning are built in. I want to deliver patient-centered care across a supportive team and keep strengthening my clinical reasoning through research.

I am a Physical Therapist and Orthopedic Resident, focused on delivering evidence-based, patient-centered care. I evaluate and treat patients with orthopedic, neurologic, and post-surgical conditions, using clinical reasoning grounded in research and outcomes.

In my current role, I provide care across multiple outpatient clinics throughout the Metro Atlanta area. I also manage therapy aides and front desk staff to support efficient clinic operations and consistently high-quality patient care.

I am actively participating in an orthopedic residency with ongoing mentorship. Through critical appraisal of literature, I strengthen my evidence-based practice and continue building deeper clinical reasoning skills.

Before becoming a clinician, I supported patient care as a Physical Therapy Technician, assisting with therapeutic exercises and aquatic therapy. I bring strong communication, collaboration, and a commitment to fundamental patient education, along with the ability to learn and apply new techniques quickly.
