Wichita EastWho or what inspired you to get into the physical therapy space?

My undergrad internship was at a physical therapy facility. My co-worker/clinical instructor used to work at ARC Physical Therapy and told me all about the company. The internship opened my eyes to a new and different way to help people improve their health. I had been a personal trainer prior to my internship so I was working on improving the health of my clients, but in a fitness role.

The variety of diagnoses and patient job tasks, along with my co-workers.

I am a pain specialist and enjoy educating patients on the importance of the body system and helping them understand that their pain is normal and that it is OK to seek help to reduce their pain.

Camp, spend time with my daughter and husband, play with our dogs: Shadow and Koda, and take in the all the little joys in life.
