What I'm looking for

I am seeking a patient-centered neurorehabilitation role where I can apply specialist clinical skills, mentor teams, engage in evidence-based practice, and contribute to research and education.

I am a board-certified neurologic clinical specialist with focused residency training in neurological physical therapy and experience across inpatient, outpatient, acute care, and home/community settings. I emphasize evidence-based interventions for vestibular disorders, SCI, CVA, TBI, MS, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative conditions.

My clinical background includes a Neurological Physical Therapy Residency, a Doctor of Physical Therapy (3.93 GPA), and roles as a full-time neuro PT and per diem clinician treating complex neurological patients. I have contributed to multidisciplinary ALS care, led educational sessions and labs, and presented research and clinical posters at regional and national APTA meetings.

I prioritize multidisciplinary collaboration, caregiver training, community reintegration, and high-intensity, task-specific rehabilitation to maximize functional outcomes. I seek to bring clinical expertise, mentorship experience, and a commitment to continuous learning to a patient-centered neurorehabilitation team.
