Bio
I am a core-faculty member in the School of Physical Therapy at San Diego State University. My mission is to empower young clinicians to identify their values, mission, and joy for care to allow ultimate fulfillment within their careers. I have been a faculty member at San Diego State University in the DPT program as well as a practicing clinician in the San Diego community for over 7 years. During this time, I have treated all types of patients, including professional athletes in the MLB and NFL, and all types of conditions and injuries. In 2022 I started my own business, Cultivate PT & Wellness Services, which treats patients in the community and provides mentoring services for aspiring PTs and practicing clinicians. I have been doing mentoring work for the last 5 years, and I love helping clinicians rediscover their “why” to remain passionate about their profession and patient care.
