I was born and raised in Spokane, and moved to the west side for undergrad and grad school. I decided to become a physical therapist when I realized my love for science and my passion for helping others. I met my husband in Seattle, and convinced him to move back to Spokane around 2018. We have a nine-year-old Brittany Spaniel and two delightful children who keep us very busy. We love to cook as a family, go to the many parks in Spokane, and playing card games and board games. In the small amount of free time I have, I enjoy crocheting, lifting weights, and reading (sometime simultaneously). I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work at Joya and serve the Spokane community.

I grew up in Helena, Montana and attended Whitworth University for my undergraduate education. My four years at Whitworth are how I came to know and love Spokane. I chose to pursue occupational therapy because of an experience with my college advisor. His occupational therapist was the only reason he was able to continue to participate in one of his greatest passions – showing his 14 Clydesdales. I saw how much it meant to him to not have to give up something he loved, and I knew I wanted to have this same impact in my future career! I moved to Fort Wayne, IN to complete my education. I especially enjoyed coaching Special Olympics, adapting cars for GoBabyGo, and volunteering at Turnstone (a paralympic training center) while I was in grad school. My favorite part of OT is celebrating the small wins that make big differences in the day-to-day life of families.
