About Me[edit | edit source]
I am a physical therapist with 23 years of experience working with the pediatric population in both outpatient clinical and educational settings. I currently work in an Early Childhood Special Education Program and also serve as faculty in a DPT program. I hold a certification in Pediatric Neuro-Developmental Treatment (C/NDT) and am a Certified Kinesio Tape Practitioner (CKTP). My research interests include competency and professional development for school-based physical therapists (and pediatric PTs across different practice settings), teaching and learning in physical therapy, early childhood development and interprofessional education.
