Why did you become a Physical Therapist?

I grew up playing sports and have always loved being active. When it came time to choose a career, physical therapy felt like a natural fit. I spent time shadowing in different settings and was drawn to the versatility of the profession and its shared goal- helping patients return to what they love. I appreciate that physical therapy is truly patient-centered, with a strong focus on function and improving quality of life.

What are you involved with in your community?

I enjoy being involved in the Quad Cities community through a variety of volunteer and outreach opportunities. I serve on the Volunteer Associate Board for ImpactLife, support pediatric cancer foundations, and serve on the Family Advisory Committee for Level 11 at Stead Family Children’s Hospital. I also value staying active locally and participating in community events.

"The staff and clinicians are all very good. They answered all my questions, time spent with me was excellent and everyone showed great compassion."

"Everything is top notch! The expertise of the PTs and their caring attitude is exemplary. All the support staff are great!"

"I was very pleased with all of my care - pre op & post op. You did a wonderful job preparing me for surgery and getting me healed after."

"Excellent doesn't give the staff enough credit to how hard they work for their patient. All of the staff works very hard to give you extra help as each person needs."
