What I'm looking for

I am seeking patient-centered roles in orthopedic or acute-care settings where I can apply OCS expertise, collaborate interdisciplinary, and advance clinical impact and professional growth.

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy and board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist with extensive experience in outpatient, acute care, home health, and travel settings across multiple states. I evaluate, plan, and implement rehabilitation programs for patients from pediatric to geriatric populations, addressing musculoskeletal, neurologic, vestibular, cardiovascular, and post-operative needs.

I have provided care in hospital systems and outpatient clinics, collaborating closely with PTAs, OTs, nurses, case managers, physicians, and SLPs to optimize discharge planning and continuity of care. I am experienced with documentation systems including Cerner, EPIC, ReDoc, ClinicalView, TherapySource, Occupro, eClinicalWorks, and OASIS.

I hold a DPT from Thomas Jefferson University, maintain BLS certification, and earned OCS recognition in 2021; I bring a patient-centered approach, strong interdisciplinary communication, and a track record of improving functional outcomes.
