My experience spans a variety of settings from outpatient and hospital settings, schools, and onsite work settings.  My service provision has also spanned a variety of treatment areas including, pediatric inpatient/outpatient clinic/hospital and schools; outpatient adult neuro, orthopedic and soft tissue injury and disease. I have specialized training in work injury rehab and management as well as being certified in ergonomics.  I have started several therapy departments and functioned as the Director over Physical and Occupational Therapy and Speech Language Pathology in multiple hospital settings in Southwest MO.  

I have been blessed to work in this rehab field where I have  had a variety of opportunities to learn and grow my skills and the privilege to work with patients, young and old, all of whom deserve to be able to  function at his/her maximum level and experience quality of life.
