Philosophy

I believe that everyone deserves not only access to the healthcare they need, but also the opportunity to receive that care in an environment where they feel comfortable, cared for, and truly understood. It’s important that patients have a clear understanding of their care plan and how it’s been personalized to meet their unique needs. It’s not just about achieving physical goals; it’s about enhancing each individual’s overall quality of life.

Bio

After earning my Bachelor’s degree in Biology, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in healthcare. Orthotics and prosthetics proved to be the perfect fit. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of patient populations, each offering unique opportunities to learn and grow. Over time, I developed a special focus on pediatric care, which has been especially rewarding—knowing that the care provided can have a lasting, positive impact on patients and their families well into adulthood.

Outside of work I like to ski, travel, and, most importantly, spend time with my family and friends.
