About

Enriching the profession of rehabilitation and wellness has always been a passion of my mine. In addition to being a clinician, I am an Assistant Professor of Physical Therapy at the University of Evansville and the Director of the ProRehab and University of Evansville Sports Residency Program. The opportunity to work will so many great professionals have constantly challenged me to continue to grow professionally and personally. As a result, I obtained my PhD from the University of Kentucky where I studied the identification of musculoskeletal injury risks and implementation of arm care exercise programs in baseball players. These experiences have provided me with insights into injury factor management in order to reimagine the idea of musculoskeletal healthcare and wellness.
