Special interest in general orthopedics and Vestibular issues.

Since 2017, I've dedicated myself to the practice of Physical Therapy, and it has been an incredibly rewarding journey to witness my patients achieving their goals. With a background as a former athlete, I have a special affinity for assisting individuals in their recovery from sports-related injuries. Additionally, I have honed my expertise in addressing mild vestibular issues and guiding patients through post-surgical rehabilitation.

My roots are firmly planted in Carlsbad, and it was my personal patient experience with Gaspar PT as a soccer player & sprinter dealing with a few injuries that ignited my passion for physical therapy. After completing my undergraduate studies at UCSD in 2012, where I earned a B.S. in Biology, I spent several years working in the restaurant industry before pursuing my dream of becoming a physical therapist at the University of Saint Augustine. I proudly graduated in 2017 and eagerly rejoined the Gaspar team in 2023.

Outside of the clinic, I maintain an active lifestyle, with soccer and weightlifting as my preferred activities. Much like many of us, the beach holds a special place in my heart, and I love spending quality time with friends and adventuring with my two little buddies at the Safari Park. My family and I are avid sports enthusiasts, so brace yourself for lively discussions about the Padres and Chargers.

My professional mission extends beyond delivering expert care; it is about inspiring and empowering individuals to embrace healthier, more fulfilling lives. Together, let's collaborate to achieve your goals and reignite your passion for an active and enriched lifestyle.
