We would like to know a bit about you and your motivations for choosing physical therapy.
My career began as a research assistant in pharmaceutical industry. It was something that I had always wanted to do. I soon realized that I was more interested in spending time with people than working in a lab. So, I returned to graduate school to get a degree as a physical therapist. Because I love dance and movement, physical therapy was the best choice for me over other healthcare professions. Exercise was something I knew. “fountain of youth”a passion for sharing that knowledge with others.
I have had the privilege to work in many aspects of physical therapy. The most rewarding part of my job was helping patients with orthopedic conditions get back to their favorite activities. But, I have always been fascinated by the latest technologies in medicine and wanted to know how to integrate this knowledge into physical therapy.
After a couple of years of networking and seeking new ways to practice, my first job in telehealth was a few years back. This opportunity led me to OneStep, and I am thrilled to play an active role in combining innovation and best practices in healthcare.
