My Journey
For many years, I've practiced at Duke Sports Medicine, a high-volume specialty care clinic, where I've developed extensive experience in sports medicine and musculoskeletal care. I've treated various musculoskeletal injuries-both acute and chronic-as well as postoperative patients, performing artists, sports concussions, and more. In addition to clinical pratice, I have spent years mentoring and teaching in Duke's Doctor of Physical Therapy program. I've conducted research on a range of topics including telehealth use, musculokeletal disorders, and the use of cognitive behavioral strategies in physical therapy. I'm also passionate about providing care for performing artists, from community stages to Broadway.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to levarage these experiences and expand access to care through telehealth services. Telehealth is a powerful platform to deliver knowledge and supporrt sustainable lifestyle transformation.
