Physical Therapist
I attended Ohio University where I received my bachelor of science and my master of physical therapy, as well as competing on the Bobcats Cross Country and Track & Field teams. Following graduation from OU, I completed my Athletic Training Certification. I have been practicing physical therapy for over 20 years, with 16 of these years being at Ohio State. I am a board certified specialist in orthopedic physical therapy. I am the lead of OSU’s endurance medicine team and specializes in working with endurance athletes, from runners, cyclists, swimmers and triathletes. I specialize in Video running gait analysis, bike fittings and orthotics fabrications.
I continue to enjoy running, in which I competed throughout high school, college and post-collegiately. My personal bests are as follows: Marathon 2:52:00, Half marathon 1:17, 10K 36:01, 5K 16:29; Mile 5:01.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
