Overview
I am a board-certified clinical specialist in sports physical therapy and an athletic trainer with a passion for the sports medicine setting. I enjoy treating a variety of sports and orthopaedic injuries, and I also enjoy enhancing people's performance to help them reach their goals of returning to high levels of sport and activities. My interest in sports physical therapy began when I was a young athlete battling injuries. With the help of great rehabilitation, I was able to pursue my dream of playing college baseball at Purdue University as well as pursue my athletic training degree. With this experience, I have a special interest and expertise in baseball sports medicine, including injury prevention and rehabilitation. I also have a special interest in treating patients after ACL injury, and enjoy working with football, basketball, and lacrosse athletes. Outside of sports medicine, I enjoy watching and playing sports, traveling, and spending time with my family and my dog, Scout.
