My journey to become a physical therapist started when I was a high school athlete after experiencing a number of injuries resulting in needing physical therapy myself. I then went onto Westfield State University to study Movement Science with a concentration in Sports Medicine. I then decided to pursue a career as a physical therapist after spending time observing in a physical therapy clinic and working as a PCA during my time in undergrad.  I went onto Northeastern University where I earned my Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree. To further continue my education in the field, I completed Level 1 from the Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy, obtained my BFR and MACI certification and earned my Dry Needling certification.

My journey in the world of physical therapy started in 2011, when I was a patient at the Bradford Professional Physical Therapy clinic. My experiences as a patient helped me realize my passion for helping people through every step of their recovery, and inspired me to pursue a career in physical therapy. While studying exercise science at UMass Lowell, I returned to the Haverhill Professional PT clinic as an aide to gain experience, and following that I was a student physical therapist at the Epping Professional PT clinic. My journey came full circle when I joined the Professional PT team full time at the Bradford clinic in 2023. During my clinical experiences, I also treated at the University of Delaware Neurological and Older Adult Clinic and on the stroke and spinal cord/traumatic brain injury floor at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. These experiences helped me gain experience with designing treatment plans focused on aiding individuals neurological disorders and stroke return to doing what they love.3
