She currently practices evidence-based treatments and stays current on relevant clinical studies. Her expertise are in sports and orthopedic rehabilitation. She has completed the Barbell Rehab Clinical Mentorship. She also specializes in pelvic floor health, and has completed courses through Herman & Wallace for Pelvic Function Level 1, Postpartum Rehabilitation, and Pregnancy/Postpartum for High Intensity Athletes. 

In addition, she constantly strives to provide compassion and empathy to understand the individuality of each patient. She loves that she has the flexibility to spend time with her husband and two kids. In her free time she continues to enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and sports along with enjoying different cuisines (definitely a born and raised "foodie").
