Water allows more freedom of movement, but also challenges the body in different ways than on land. I gain a great deal of enjoyment and satisfaction from using the aquatic environment to help people achieve their goals.”

Personal statement: “Physical therapy is not only a challenging, but also a very rewarding occupation. It is important to me to listen to my patients, solve identified problems, and guide them toward their treatment goals.
