Professional Interests:

I currently teach physical therapy evaluation and assessment as well as therapeutic activities for the orthopaedic patient to entry-level physical therapy students. I also teach various courses related to geriatrics and orthopaedics to post-professional physical therapy students. My research interests are in the area of orthopaedics in the geriatric population and women’s injuries. My most recent research projects have been in the areas of injury prevention programs for girls high school soccer players. I am also working on a grant-funded study to assess the public health burden of physical-activity related injuries in women. Please review my curriculum vitae for more details
