Bio

I am a new graduate from a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program. I love neurologic physical therapy and spreading access to care for patients with medical complexity. I hope to work in an inpatient rehabilitation setting. I eventually want to become certified in Neurologic Physical Therapy and provide specialized pro-bono care to underserved communities! I'm passionate about activism and the cross-cultural exchange of information and resources. I aim to become a healthcare professional who advocates for and empowers my patients with continuous learning about the communities around me.
