Why did you become a Physical Therapist?
I became a PT because I was my grandma’s main caretaker as she aged with Parkinson’s disease. I wanted to be able to help people with Parkinson’s find fulfillment and optimize their function. I especially enjoy working with the geriatric populations and look forward to receiving a certification in LSVT Big and Loud.
What are you involved with in your community?
I was involved in volunteering for a local clothing center and youth center in Davenport before my long term clinicals. I look forward to establishing myself and volunteering in the local community when I move to West Des Moines.
