Why did you become a Physical Therapist?
I became a physical therapist as I had a background in athletic training in college and helping athletes return to sports. As time progressed I realized how much I enjoyed it and wanted to continue to help not just athletes but people of all ages and skillsets. I enjoy getting to know my patients and helping them achieve goals.
What are you involved with in your community?
In the community, I’m a member of the West Des Moines Chamber and am getting more involved with sports activities as my kids get older.
