What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining hands-on rehabilitation, clinical education, and digital health innovation—work that improves access, uses evidence-based care, and leverages AI/tools to scale equitable wellness services.

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy with 4+ years of clinical experience in orthopedic and neurological care, and current founder of a wellness coaching platform focused on health equity and accessibility. I blend hands-on rehabilitation skills with AI-assisted documentation, clinical education, and development of inclusive wellness programming to serve complex and underserved populations.

I have managed complex caseloads across outpatient, mobile, and hospital settings, trained clinicians and students, and built a data-driven digital health presence (website, SEO, bespoke AI assistants) to optimize client experience and care delivery. My work highlights integrating evidence-based practice, clinical prediction models, and digital tools to improve diagnostic accuracy, documentation efficiency, and patient access.
