Prior to beginning my career as a physical therapist assistant, I worked in the insurance industry for 26 years.

​

Outpatient is where my heart is. I enjoy being a part of a patient’s healing process, and helping a patient reach the goals set by the Physical Therapist and the patient. Here at RRW every person is an individual and their treatment is focused their personal situation. That is what sets RRW apart from other out patient therapies.
