I was first introduced to physical therapy in high school while shadowing various medical professions. I quickly discovered that physical therapy stood out to me because of its dynamic environment and the opportunity to work with diverse patient populations. After graduating from the PTA program, I began my career at North Platte Physical Therapy, where I built a strong clinical foundation. I later worked as a traveling PTA, gaining experience in a wide range of clinical settings while helping clinics to continue providing quality care during staffing shortages.
