I took the scenic path to becoming a PT. I started my journey by graduating from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Ceramics in 2005. I then left for Japan where I worked with a Japanese potter, then later taught conversational English. In 2009 I moved from Japan to Costa Rica where I worked on two different sea turtle research and conservation projects. In 2010 I came back to the US to go back to school. I graduated from Oklahoma State University in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, then earned my Doctor in Physical Therapy in 2018 from University of Oklahoma Health Sciences center in 2018. I am passionate about making sure older adults keep living the lives they want- just because someone is aging, doesn’t mean life needs to stop. I also have an intense interest in vestibular and balance issues, and stroke recovery.
My hobby is collecting hobbies. Current hobbies include weaving, hiking, driving, scentwork with my overly exuberant shepherd, and exploring the world around me.
