About Me
I have been at Samuel Merritt since 2018, starting out as an adjunct instructor and eventually transitioning to core faculty in 2021.
I live in the east bay with my husband and our two teenagers. I love rock climbing and snowboarding but am most happy when I am at the beach with a good book!
Education
I have been a physical therapist for more than 30 years. I earned my B.S. in physical therapy from Northeastern University in Boston, where I am from, in 1990 and my doctorate in 2017 from A.T. Still University. In addition, I have been a board certified pediatric clinical specialist in since 2013.
