What I'm looking for

I am seeking clinical leadership or senior therapist roles where I can deliver orthopedic and aquatic care, mentor clinicians, develop programs, and contribute to a collaborative, patient-centered rehabilitation team.

I am a licensed physical therapist with a Doctor of Physical Therapy (with honors) and extensive clinical and leadership experience in outpatient, home health, inpatient, and aquatic rehabilitation settings. I specialize in orthopedic and sports physiotherapy and have developed and implemented rehabilitation programs, departmental policies, and wellness initiatives.

As an owner and director of an outpatient clinic, former supervisor in hospital rehabilitation services, and vice president of the national professional association, I have led teams, supervised staff, and represented the profession nationally and internationally. I am certified in aquatic exercise, KinesioTape, and orthopedic manual therapy and have served as a clinical instructor mentoring doctoral students.

I bring a patient-centered approach, strong program development experience, and multilingual communication skills (English, Spanish, Cantonese) to roles that value clinical excellence, staff development, and community-focused rehabilitation services.
