I love the challenge of working with complex pediatric cases, and given this challenge comes the reward of their progress. Whether it's sitting up independently or riding a trike, each individual moment brings so much joy to me as it does to the patient and their families.

My philosophy of care is always the patient comes first. I always strive to incorporate the patient and/or family in goals and make them as functional and realistic as possible. I wanted to become a physical therapist because I love seeing the progress that patients make and following their journeys of improvement.
