BEST PART OF MY WORK: There are great rewards being a Physical Therapist, but I enjoy the development of personal PT relationships with my patients the most.
WHY I BECAME A PHYSICAL THERAPIST: I was exposed to the profession early in life due to my own athletic injuries. Even at a young age, I knew Physical Therapy was my calling. It seemed to be a career where my talents could best be expressed, offering me the opportunity to positively influence the lives of others.
