What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a pediatric-focused rehabilitation role where I can coordinate multidisciplinary care, deliver evidence-informed therapy, and partner with families to improve mobility, development, and measurable patient progress.

I’m a physical therapist bringing empathy and a holistic problem-solving mindset to pediatric care. I combine interpersonal strengths with hands-on scientific research experience to coordinate rehabilitation that supports real-life outcomes.

In my current role at Means institute of autism and rehabilitation center, I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop personalized rehabilitation programs for pediatric patients with developmental delays. I use play-based therapy to improve motor skills and sensory processing, guide and supervise assistive device use, and deliver comprehensive upper and lower limb rehabilitation.

I also strengthen care beyond the clinic through parent and caregiver workshops that improve home-based therapy adherence and child physical development. Previously, I supported admissions operations as an admissions coordinator and provided clinical assessment, documentation, and tailored therapy adjustments as a physical therapist in a hospital setting.
