Professional Physical Therapist in NYC
I’ve always had an interest in exercise and how the body works.
As a child, I spent hours reading those big old Encyclopedia Britannica! I enjoyed reading the science and biology sections and learning all about the human body and how it works.
So, naturally, I majored in biology when I went to college. In my four years of college, I enjoyed my anatomy and physiology courses the most, which led me to decide to go to graduate school for physical therapy, becoming a professional physical therapist.
My passion is for helping others – and to enjoy the work I do.
I was a file clerk out of high school, spending my full 10-hour shift in a room filing papers for a law office. Additionally, I spent my entire day in that room, never learning or interacting with anyone. I felt something was missing… That I craved human interaction.
I quickly learned that I needed to work with and help others to feel fulfilled in my career. While in college, I volunteered in hospitals and physical therapy clinics. I enjoyed learning about how physical therapy could improve a person’s health and lifestyle. So, I went to grad school for physical therapy at Long Island University. Almost 15 years later, I still get to meet, learn from, and help people every day.
I’ve had my share of injuries over the years…
I was in a car accident and injured my neck and back. I had multiple discs in my spine out of place. It was difficult to walk, stand, or sit. My physical therapist and I worked together to get me back on my feet again.
I’ve gone through physical therapy myself, so I know the hard work and dedication it takes to get back to normal.
