About you
I LOVE working with all things Parkinson"s Disease (PD)!!
I graduated in 2016 from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA with my DPT degree. I have been working in Outpatient Neurology at Providence Northeast Rehabilitation since August 2016. The main populations I treat are those with PD and other neurodegenerative disorders, Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and other motor neuron diseases, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), balance and fall risk, and vestibular disorders as well as atypical neurological disorders. Currently, I work full time as a treating therapist. I also work in multidisciplinary clinics for both ALS and PD with our Movement Disorders Specialists and ALS Neurologists. Additionally, I do pre-post motor function testing for Deep Brain Stimulation in relation to PD. I am also LSVT-BIG certified and run our intensive courses through this clinic. I am a Clinical Instructor and often have students by my side to explore and gain insight on all things Neuro.
In my free time you can find me rock climbing, hiking, running, eating, or chasing down a crazy, wonderful toddler!
