Why did you become a therapist?
I became a physical therapist to help people. I like the challenge of problem solving a person’s health concerns to relieve their pain and improve their quality of life. It is my goal to restore patient’s physical capabilities to full function and return them to a lifestyle they are accustomed to. I am fulfilling my dream of making a difference in people’s lives.
What are you involved with in your community?
Community involvement is important to myself and my staff. I am a member of The Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce and The Camanche Kiwanis Club participating in many events to serve our local children and town including the Memorial Day celebration, blood drives, HWY clean up, Easter Egg Hunts and safe trick or treating options for parents. My facility also provides a booth for stretching athletes at our local MDA basketball tournament. Camanche RVPT organizes a Camanche School Sports Physical Clinic and donates the proceeds back to the school athletic department. I also enjoy speaking to high school students at the Clinton Community College Career Day regarding the profession of physical therapy and the requirements needed to pursue this as a profession in college.
