What I do as a Physical Therapist

I have practiced in healthcare settings primarily in acute care and outpatient orthopedics. From 1995-2001 before returning for my doctorate, I was Director of Rehabilitation Services at a hospital recognized three times as one of the 100 Top Hospitals in America. Most recently, I worked in outpatient rehabilitation using Pilates/Gyrotonic and became a Certified Gyrotonic Trainer in June, 2007.

Earned PhD in 2006 from the University of Florida in Educational Administration
Graduated from Florida with a degree in physical therapy in 1988
