PERFECTION IN EDUCATION
"Because I wanted to be the best for my patients, I strived to be the best in school. I believe that learning your discipline starts with total focus, dedication, and follow-through. I followed these principles in school, and I follow them today with continuing education - an important aspect in being a good physical therapist."

MEMBERSHIP FOR BETTERMENT
"If you don't let your colleagues know what you do, and vice versa, you keep your discipline from going forward and from benefitting patients. I enjoy sharing what I know and have learned through professional affiliations. In the long run, it makes a difference in the care that 1 give."
