Where are you from? I am from Portland, Maine What schooling/training do you have? I went to Husson University and have a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I have continued my education by taking courses on the back and foot as well as getting extensive training on the job fromBack inMotion ® Physical Therapy over past five years. How long have you been with Back in Motion®? I have beenworking at Back in Motion ® Physical Therapy for five years. What is your best work story (funny, happy, inspiring)? A couple years ago I was the victim of a very, as the pranksters would put it, “wonderful” April Fool’s joke. It was not just one small joke mind you, there were many
small pranks that occurred throughout the day. Of course as this was going on I didmention on several occasions that I was surprised that no one had pulled off an April Fool’s joke. It wasn’t until about 2:30 in the afternoon that the light finally went off and everyone had a good laugh at my expense. What are your hobbies? I like to run, weight train, golf, and would love to get more involved in cross country skiing. What is one interesting fact about you that most people don’t know? My birthday will occasionally fall on Thanksgiving. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I plan on continuing to growas a physical therapist so that I can continue to help as many people as possible improve their quality of life.
