Performance Physical Therapist
Hi everyone! I was born and raised in New Jersey before heading to Delaware for college, and eventually making the move to Los Angeles in 2020 to pursue physical therapy school. I have always been passionate about sports and exercise, growing up playing soccer, basketball, baseball, track, and tennis. In high school, I had the honor of serving as captain of both the soccer and basketball teams, experiences that helped shape my leadership skills and deepened my appreciation for teamwork, discipline, and performance.
I attended the University of Delaware for my undergraduate education, where I studied Athletic Training and became a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC). This is where I first began working hands-on with athletes in the training room back in 2016, helping them recover from injuries, prevent future issues, and optimize their performance and overall function. These early experiences solidified my passion for working closely with active individuals and being part of their journey back to sport.
Following undergrad, I continued my education at the University of Southern California, where I earned my Doctorate of Physical Therapy. I have been living in Los Angeles since 2020, and it was during this time that my passion for sports and orthopedic performance physical therapy continued to grow. Through my education and clinical experiences, I developed a strong appreciation for individualized, movement-focused care aimed at not just treating pain, but improving long-term performance and resilience.
On a more personal note, I was born with a heart condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, meaning I had an extra electrical pathway in my heart. In order to be cleared to play high school sports, I underwent an ablation surgery—and was back to full participation in soccer within just two weeks. That experience profoundly shaped my understanding of the body’s ability to heal and adapt, and it ultimately inspired my desire to help others return to the activities they love. I truly enjoy partnering with patients on their recovery and performance journeys, and I can’t wait to help you get back to doing what brings you joy.
