Assistant Professor<\/h2>\n

\"Dr.Teaching Area<\/h3>\n

Physical Therapy within the College of Health and Education<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why did you decide to teach at Marymount?<\/h3>\n

I am a graduate of Marymount’s Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program<\/a>. I fell in love with the program because of its sense of community and it really felt like I would become part of a family. I was an adjunct professor for five years while practicing full time at MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital<\/a> in Washington, D.C. I joined as a full-time professor in 2015. I am a graduate that has never wanted to leave MU!<\/p>\n

What got you interested in Physical Therapy?<\/h3>\n

I was a serious ballerina growing up, and a series of injuries led me to a physical therapy clinic. I remember feeling better when I left the clinic, and it was really powerful to see the relationships that were built there. I knew I wanted to help other people move and feel better in their own bodies. <\/p>\n

What is your area of expertise?<\/h3>\n

I am a Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy. My area of expertise is the evaluation and management of patients in the acute care setting, as well as in the rehabilitation of the neurologically-impaired adult. In particular, I specialize in treating patients with vestibular and facial dysfunction and in making wheelchair and positioning recommendations. <\/p>\n

What courses do you teach?<\/h3>\n

I am currently teaching the following courses:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • PT 700: Clinical Neuroscience<\/li>\n
  • PT 730: Evaluation and Management of Patients in Acute Care<\/li>\n
  • PT 731L: Clinical Applications of Patient Management in Acute Care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
