Bio
Short Bio: I am an Associate Lecturer at the School of Physical Therapy at San Diego State University. I’m also a dedicated practitioner, treating outpatient orthopedic patients through my own PT clinic, San Diego Physical Therapy, which I opened 7 years ago. I received my certificate in Applied Functional Science in 2017 and use a whole body, holistic approach to treating patients. I enjoy bringing examples from my clinical work to my students to help bridge the gap between academia and practical, hands-on experience. Outside of treating patients and teaching students, I have also led numerous workshops about collaboration among healthcare providers, wellness practitioners and clientele.
