About Me

I am originally from Raleigh, NC, and played elite-level soccer starting at 10 years old. My love for athletics allowed for me to discover my passion for biomechanics and how the human body functions.

​

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Exercise & Sport Science with Honors from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2016 and went on to receive my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Florida in 2019.

​

My background in neurologic rehab and love of manual therapy gives my treatment approach an edge, allowing me to effectively address the connection between mind and body.
