Faculty Spotlight

Director of Physical Therapist Assistant

I have been a practicing physical therapist for eleven years. I have primarily practiced physical therapy in the pediatric setting, specializing in working with children who have neurological issues such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida and seizure disorder.

Physical therapy is a great field to work in because we assist infants, children, adults, and the older population in reaching their highest potential. Teaching physical therapy enables me to share my passion for this field with others and to share my experiences as well as to promote my profession and to ensure that future therapists have the skills and qualities required to meet the needs of the community.
