What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to integrate technology with patient care, fostering a collaborative environment focused on rehabilitation and patient independence.

I am a dedicated Physical Therapist with a strong background in neurologic and orthopedic rehabilitation, both in-person and through digital platforms. My experience at Select Specialty Hospital has equipped me with the skills to treat complex, high-acuity patients using mobility-focused interventions. I take pride in leading a cardiopulmonary rehab team and educating families to ensure safe transitions for patients.

Currently pursuing my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, I am committed to enhancing patient care through technology. My previous roles have allowed me to manage orthopedic and post-operative patients with personalized rehabilitation plans, utilizing EMR platforms to improve education and adherence. I believe in making care more accessible and engaging for every patient, which drives my passion for this profession.
