“It is important to draw wisdom from different places. If you take it from one
place it becomes rigid and stale.” -Iroh
“Sometimes life is like this dark tunnel. You can’t always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving… you will come to a better
place” -Iroh

I grew up in Ronkonkoma and went to Connetquot High School. I went to undergrad at Toruo College and received my BA is psychology. Finished my school career with graduate school at Mercy University and received my DPT.

I’ve worked in the world of physical therapy prior to graduate school as a aide. Now as a new grad, I’m excited to finally help individuals directly.

Core Values:

To leave the world better than I found it.

Patient Care Concerns:

Pain or lack of mobility that prevents them being able to participate in the things they love.

Specialization:

I treat individuals of all kinds to help improve their daily life with movement education and strengthening. Conditions I enjoy treating are helping individuals with neurological, balance, and pain ailments always feel rewarding to me.

i like the 1:1 care time between the PT and the patients, and well as feeling like my co-workers are able and willing to help me when I need it.
