Former TRIA Research and Education Center Investigator

About

I primarily work with patients who have sustained athletic injuries, as my background and training are in sports rehabilitation. I feel fortunate to have worked extensively with Division I college athletes in a previous role; it gave me a greater understanding of the unique demands of returning to high level sports. I enjoy guiding patients back to the sport or activity that is meaningful to them, working with a diverse group of patients and creating individualized rehabilitation plans. My philosophy of care includes shared decision making with patients, collaborating with others on the health care team, and delivering excellent patient care through a commitment to evidence-based practice.
