Hometown: Catonsville, Md.

Program: Doctor of Physical Therapy

Previous Degree: BS in English (Professional)

Why did you choose your particular program at Arcadia?

I was drawn to Arcadia because of the DPT hybrid pathway. It was a high priority for me not to have to relocate my family, and Arcadia offered the specific school/life balance I needed to pursue an advanced degree.

What do you hope to accomplish during your time here?

I hope to become a proficient physical therapist with the tools to adapt and specialize in the variety of environments PTs might find themselves in, and form a strong network of mentors and friends to take into my new roles.

What do you do when you’re not in class?

Most of my free time is dedicated to my young daughter, but I also love to cook and learn new crafts as they relate to home improvement. When the timing is right, I love to travel, and I love to snowboard. I have been snowboarding for over 20 years, and was a member of the National Ski Patrol during my undergraduate studies.
