About Me
My Background
After graduating from ECU in May 2014, was fully licensed in August 2014 and began working at Roanoke Therapy Services. Here I was able to engage in and experience many different settings of physical therapy. These included outpatient, inpatient acute, pediatrics, and home health. Of these experiences I found myself drawn to home health and eventually accepted a position in 2017 with Kindred at Home, now known as Centerwell Home Health. During my time working exclusively in home health I’ve found that the connection made with treating patients in their own home has been the most rewarding for both myself as a clinician and the patients who get the care they need where it matters the most.
