I have known since high school that I wanted to be a physical therapist, and that vision has guided me every step of the way. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Florida in 2010. After earning my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2014, I joined UF Health as the lead physical therapist for the University of Florida Student Health Care Center. There, I treated university students recovering from sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and various orthopedic conditions. I was quickly promoted to manager, overseeing operations for three outpatient clinics. Leading a team of 20 employees and managing over $5 million in annual revenue, I honed my skill for blending business with patient care.

In late 2023, my family and I relocated to Palo Alto for my husband’s training at Stanford. This move gave me the perfect opportunity to pursue my dream of starting my own practice. I founded Refresh Physical Therapy to bring a concierge physical therapy to busy individuals and families in Palo Alto.

Outside of my career, I’m a wife, a mother to 2 little ones, an avid exerciser, an anatomy enthusiast, a lover of the outdoors, and a lifelong learner.

Let’s go on this journey together!
