My clinical experience includes inpatient/outpatient rehabilitation, home healthcare, skilled nursing, and rural healthcare. I am a Certified Lymphedema Therapist, certified through the Lymphology Association of North America and a certified CarFit Event Coordinator.

I teach course content related to the philosophical and theoretical foundation of occupational therapy, neurology of occupation, preparatory methods and physical agent modalities, physical health conditions, and environmental influences.

My scholarship interests include occupation-based intervention and quality of life with lymphedema, occupational therapy's distinct role in multidisciplinary interventions, and student learning and professional development.
