Biography:
I was always interested in the medical field and originally became interested in athletic training while in high school. I went along with the school athletic trainer, primarily for soccer, and was educated in quick assessments of injuries and how to respond. It was fun, exciting, and I realized I wanted to do something in the same field.
I began working at a physical therapy clinic in Lapeer while in high school as an aide. I worked there for two months when I realized I wanted to become a physical therapist. I worked there for 4 years starting with my last year of high school and throughout all of my undergraduate work, until I was accepted into physical therapy school.
While in school I had a two week clinical at HealthQuest in Oxford. I loved the open and friendly atmosphere, the outpatient population, and how everyone worked together to achieve one goal: get the patient back to full function.
After I graduated school about a year and a half later, I applied at HealthQuest and became employed.
Now, I am part of a great physical therapy clinic where I can grow and work with people that get along. I am passionate about my job and there isn’t a day where I don’t like going into work. My patients come first, and above all, I am dedicated to getting them back doing what they want to do. |
