Human Movement Science

As the director in the Division of Physical Therapy, it is my primary responsibility to facilitate communication among the educational, research, and clinical components of our Division and to ensure that each has the support it needs to be successful. I have secondary roles in teaching and research but spend the majority of my time doing what I enjoy most – connecting our people with the resources they need to accomplish our collective mission and realize our collective vision.

I strive to help adults with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases stay active and engaged in the activities that matter most to them. Towards this goal, my vision is to ensure that everyone who needs high-quality rehabilitation can access it. Through our research, we aim to create and implement care models that make it easier for clinicians to identify patients who need rehabilitation, connect them to the right resources, and deliver effective rehabilitation care.
