What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my telehealth expertise while fostering patient independence and improving quality of life.

I am a passionate and dedicated physical therapist with over a decade of experience in various healthcare settings, including skilled nursing facilities and outpatient care. My journey began with a Doctor of Physical Therapy from the Medical College of Georgia, where I honed my skills in patient evaluation and treatment planning. I have a strong commitment to improving patient outcomes through personalized care and evidence-based practices.

Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented telehealth services, allowing me to reach and support patients remotely. My expertise in developing individualized treatment plans has led to significant improvements in functional abilities for my patients. I am also proud to have contributed to the training and development of new therapists, ensuring high standards of care within my teams.
