Why did you become a physical therapist?
Well, I wish I had a good injury story like most therapists do, but I kind of just fell into this profession. I knew I wanted to do something in the medical field and thought X-RAY technician sounded interesting, but I realized I would be in a dark room a lot and I didn’t like that. One of my friends told me to look into physical therapy and here I am, 6 years later and loving it! What can patients expect when they see you in the clinic?
Patients can expect a smiling face and a friendly “How are you doing today!?” My hope is you leave feeling a little bit better than you came in and continue to improve over time. When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?
I like to play volleyball at the fieldhouse on Monday nights. My husband and I just moved to the country in January this year so we’ve had our work cut out for us doing work the house & property! Not to mention, keeping track of our 3 dogs that love running around on the grounds. What are your favorite ways of staying healthy?
I teach a cycle and shred class at the gym every Thursday, and I try to stay active by going to the gym 2-3 times a week. I am conscious of what I eat and make sure I get the correct amount of protein my body needs. Where is your hometown?
Dighton, Kansas What is your favorite thing about living in Kansas?
