Professional interests
My professional interests include creating a unique, efficient, and welcoming pediatric clinical practice that serves the local community. I adore babies and spend much of my time working with children from birth to 3 years of age. I am not limited to serving only the babies of our community. I also work alongside local school districts, teachers, social workers, doctors, and special education educators to ensure the highest quality of care for children of all ages. I am particularly interested in delivery care that focuses on the whole family and provides a level of quality that creates a deep connection between the child and caregiver/family with the clinician as a support. I enjoy working with students and offering insight to young therapists as they begin their journey as physical therapists. I am invested in finding a way to help boost our profession and ensure we are reimbursed and paid appropriately for our services and would consider myself an advocate for our profession.
Why I serve as a mentor
I enjoy offering my little slice of expertise to residents interested in providing care in the natural setting. I enjoy giving context for how a pediatric physical therapist fits into the public health network and how we can boost the health and quality of life for children and their families.
