Area of physical therapy or work with a particular type of patient:

I love working with a diverse population that a rural setting provides. It keeps me accountable for staying up to date with a variety of conditions.

Why I became a PT:

I have always known I wanted to pursue a career in healthcare. I was always active in high school and had a natural interest in anatomy. I figured physical therapy was a good combination of both. I was assured of my decision when I had the opportunity to shadow Dr. Rash here at Lott when I was a sophomore in undergrad. I really valued how we are able to connect with and empower patients.
