DefiningMoments-1-800x700.pngI have been a sports medicine PT for 30 years, and I truly love my job. I enjoy getting to know the patients and seeing them progress from an injury — an ACL tear, a labral repair, a stress fracture, or chronic impairment — to return to the sports and activities they love. I am blessed to work in a clinic that allows one-on-one treatment with each patient, and I am motivated to continually improve my knowledge and skills as a therapist. Whenever I felt I was getting "bored" with my job, there was always a new avenue of treatment to pursue or updated information to learn. One experience that will always stick with me started in 2010.
