Biographical Information

Graduate of Indiana University School of HPER (Date of Completion: Way back in the day)
As a 37 year practitioner, I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation settings, working with diagnoses including pediatric and adult brain injury, CVA, SCI, MS, PD, dementia, orthopedics, amputee and cardiac debility among others.
During that time, I also had the opportunity to provide consultation services to long term care facilities.
When not working, I enjoy time with my husband and our Norwich Terrier puppy ATLAS MATEO (aka, Rascal), reading, crochet, skiing, golf, spinning, Zentangle, and walking.

Biographical Information

I am a graduate of The University of Iowa in 2018.
I grew up in Chicago and in 2023 moved to Golden, Colorado. While in Chicago, I worked with the geriatric population at an assisted living and independent living. Luckily then, I had the opportunity to work in inpatient rehabilitation, something I have been continuing to work toward again. Most currently, I work in inpatient behavioral health with individuals ranging from adolescence to geriatric.
In my free time, you’ll find me snuggling with my dog Buster, hiking, biking, or practicing yoga, reading Harry Potter, and connecting with family or friends.
