I am passionate about collaborating with healthcare teams to develop effective treatment plans tailored to individual needs, ensuring that each patient receives the best possible care.

Throughout my career, I have successfully conducted assessments, developed rehabilitation programs, and educated caregivers and families on patient care. My commitment to patient advocacy and empathy allows me to build strong relationships with patients and their families, fostering a supportive environment that promotes healing and independence. I am eager to continue making a positive impact in the lives of those I serve.
