Physical Therapist Assistant
At Valeo, I aid in the healing process by administering treatment within the plan of care and ultimately educating and teaching “you,” the patient, how to diminish or manage current symptoms and how to prevent future injuries.
My personal interests include:
I LOVE UT Football, watersports or hanging out at the lake, playing with my 2 kids, spending time in Colorado.
I believe “You are never a loser until you quit trying.”
My favorite quote is “I’m not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I’m not dumb…I also know that I’m not blonde.”
What I like most about working for Valeo is that it feels like a caring “family” atmosphere that is supportive, and allows room for individual growth.
I like caring for patients because I enjoy being their hope and encouragement during recovery, then sharing their joy of difficult, well-earned accomplishments.
I chose to become a Physical Therapist because growing up playing multiple sports; I suffered from many athletic injuries. I became very acquainted with my physical therapist “Doug.” Over the years Dough felt like part of my family. He got me back to playing sports and I decided then as a teenager, I wanted to help others with similar injuries.
I think patients like me because we have fun while getting the job done.
I think patients like Valeo because we are personable, with a family feel that is understanding, caring and here to help guide them through the healing process!
