I’ve always had a passion for learning new things. I graduated from UB with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2013. Then, I went back to UB for my MBA and graduated in 2019. I believe physical therapy isn't just about exercises and techniques—it's about restoring hope and nurturing resilience.
I've always had a strong interest in health and wellness for myself,
and physical therapy felt like the best way to share that passion with
others. I love being able to comnbine my knowledgeof the body and
movement with my desire to help people recover from injuries, improve
their overall well-being and live healthier lives.
I enjoy learning about what people do for work and what their hobbies are. I learn a lot about different skills and trades that I wouldn't normally partake in. That helps me provide a better plan of care to help patients get back to what they love doing.
I became a physical therapist after experiencing a sports injury in high school. I had fallen, hurt my back and was required to attend PT. After just a few sessions I realized it was something I would love to do forever. My favorite part of being a PT is seeing the growth each person can make in just a short time.
My passion for physical therapy began after tearing my ACL and going through PT myself. I experienced firsthand not only how much physical therapy can help someone regain their strength and function, but also the impact a great physical therapist can have on a person’s confidence throughout the recovery process. I enjoy working in the outpatient setting, where I have the opportunity to really get to know each patient and create an individualized treatment plan centered around their specific goals. Whether that means returning to a sport, getting back to a favorite hobby, or simply feeling stronger and more confident in everyday life, I love helping patients make progress toward what matters most to them
I became interested in physical therapy after an injury from gymnastics that required PT and saw how much they were able to help me return to my favorite sport and realized how rewarding it would be to help each patient achieve their goals.
I love being one of the first friendly faces patients see when they walk through the door. I enjoy getting to know our patients, helping create a welcoming and positive environment, and being part of a team that supports people throughout their journey to feeling and moving better!
I love working alongside our therapists and being part of a team that truly cares about helping patients reach their goals. It’s rewarding to see our patients make progress throughout their therapy journey!
I grew up as a dancer experiencing various injuries, I knew I wanted to get into the medical field and focus on injury prevention and rehab. Physical therapy incorporated my love of exercise and helping people. You build connections with patients and I get to see them progress each week that goes by. It's a great feeling knowing you helped patients reach their full recovery potential and seeing the progress they made. Everyday is a new day and every patient is different. You get to come up with new exercises, challenge patients and see them reach their goals.
When I was younger, seeing my grandma be able to return home after cancer treatments due to the hard work of PTs was inspiring to me. I wanted to be able to do the same thing, help people get back to living their life. I worked as a travel therapist as well as in Skilled Nursing Facility settings before joining the outpatient world. I specialize in fitness with aging, fall prevention, vestibular as well as post-operation rehabilitation of a variety of joints.
