Hobbies

I am a Buffalo native that went to Ithaca College before settling in Syracuse, NY. Alongside being a physical therapist, I am also a personal trainer and certified strength and conditioning specialist. I have also been lucky enough to travel on mission trips with Operation Walk to use my physical therapy skills abroad. I enjoy working out, running, hiking, golfing, skiing, playing piano, singing, dancing, and spending quality time with family and friends.  My passion and personal goal as a physical therapist is to change the way spine pain is treated across the entire medical field, and to empower and teach my patients how to achieve their most full life.
