What inspired you to choose the physical therapy field?

I knew I wanted to go into the medical field by the end of my high school anatomy & physiology class. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go pre-med or an alternate direction until my grandmother encouraged me to pursue physical therapy.

Whats your favorite place to eat in Manhattan?

Baan Thai. I love Asian food in general, but Thai is my favorite. Try the Pad Prik Pow and a thai tea.

What do you like to do for fun?

During most of the year I enjoy being outside, whether that is gardening, fishing, going on a walk, or taking a motorcycle ride.

Do you have any pets?

I have one black lab/Bernese Mountain dog mix named Denali. She is 6 years old and I have had her since I rescued her from the pound when she was 2 months old. She likes to think she is a lap dog even though she weighs 70 lbs and she loves a good back rub.
