I love being a physical therapist…but when I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me training in competitive weightlifting at 12th State, pursuing my new love of pickleball, and working on my travel goal of hiking in every National Park. I am an artist and love all things acrylic paint, watercolor, and thrifting a treasure to turn it into something new.

My favorite days are spent dancing, crafting, and laughing with my favorite humans…my three nieces and my nephew.
