A little about me...
I have worked in nearly every therapeutic setting with the exception of Pediatrics, and recently joined Temple University as an adjunct professor in their PT program. I grew up in Bergen County NJ , lived in New York City my early adult life, then moved to PA in my 20's. I studied abroad in Denmark, traveled thru Europe, lived in California and then Hawaii, each for about a year. I earned my Black Belt in Karate / MMA and am lucky to have a close network of friends who support and encourage my personal and professional growth. I have two beautiful children and a wonderful husband, all three who keep me on my toes and grounded at the same time. I am passionate about the work I do and am lucky to know a tremendous community of therapists near and far.
