As a physical therapist, I aim to be a movement optimist and answer-seeker who empowers patients to reclaim their lives and re-engage with what brings them joy. I enjoy building long-term relationships and supporting patients on their journey to healing. I am particularly interested in working with adolescents and adults with orthopedic, autonomic, or chronic pain conditions. Outside of work, I enjoy exercising, reading, searching for good food and coffee, and spending time with loved ones.

I serve as a vestibular physical therapist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As a native of Saratoga Springs, New York, I have served in a variety of clinical settings in Colorado, North Carolina, and Florida focusing on acute and subacute neurological impairments, and I am primarily passionate about vestibular rehabilitation and craniofacial pain. At UNC, I participate in the long-COVID multidisciplinary team and I have worked most recently to develop the vestibular rehab portion of UNCs Transforming Health and Resilience in Veterans (THRIVE) Program, a multidisciplinary team for veterans suffering from mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
