I adore my job and I truly believe I have been educated to serve. I work one on one with each patient/client in a private treatment room in Brighton, MI.
I was a teacher before I became a physical therapist. I made it through student teaching, before realizing my dream was to be apart of the medical community.
I went to a private Christian college called Ohio Valley University in West Virginia and graduated in 2005 and 2006 with a Baccalaureate of Interdisciplinary Studies.
I graduated from Central Michigan University with my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in December of 2010.
I have worked for the University of Michigan Health System since June of 2011.
