I received degrees in sports medicine and coaching at Pepperdine University and then completed my doctorate in physical therapy in 2016. As a physical therapist and performance coach for nearly a decade, I have worked with athletes of all ages and functional abilities, including youth athletes, weekend warriors, Olympians, and professionals.
After having worked in various orthopedic settings, I always knew that I wanted to blend sports performance and physical therapy and that is why I started COR1 Sports Medicine and Performance. I am an athlete myself, and having spent most of my life playing sports (football, baseball, basketball, rugby, weightlifting, CrossFit), I understand that “rest” is not always the desired or optimal path forward. My goal is to bridge the gap between athletic performance and physical therapy.
My treatment philosophy emphasizes injury prevention, strength training, and long term planning as a means to staying healthy and performing at the highest level.
