With over 10 years of experience in sports rehabilitation, I began my education as an Athletic Trainer at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Driven by my passion for helping others achieve optimal performance and recovery, I relocated to New York to pursue my Doctorate in Physical Therapy while working with some of the best in the field.​​​
​
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of treating patients referred from the Hospital for Special Surgery, the leading orthopedic hospitals in the nation. My experience spans to multiple outpatient physical therapy clinics in New York, as well as providing care for elite teams such as the New York City FC development team, the White Plains Rugby Club, the Carolina Panthers, and UNC Charlotte Football.

While my initial passion was focused on sports-related orthopedic injuries, my clinical experience has shown me the profound impact that addressing the intricacies of daily living can have on a person’s overall quality of life. I have come to understand that by broadening the scope of treatment beyond just athletic injuries, I can help my patients make small yet powerful changes in their lives that promote long-term well-being and vitality. This comprehensive approach allows me to guide individuals toward not only recovering from injury, but also living with greater strength, mobility, and confidence in all aspects of their life.
