I have remained in pediatric therapy since graduating from PT school in 95' working at Les Passee with 0-3 year olds, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital dealing with critical care, burns, outpatient services and spasticity clinic, and most recently in the Mercy system focusing on outpatient pediatrics.

I was born in Texas and at the age of four I went to live in El Salvador with my parents. I attended school in El Salvador for three years where I learned how to read, write, and speak fluently in Spanish. I have always enjoyed helping others and could not have found a more rewarding career. I love working with children with a variety of diagnoses and making a difference in their life. Seeing a smile on a kid's face when they ride a bike for the first time or simply do something they never imagined could is priceless and makes every effort worth while! I am very thankful to be part of T.E.A.M

As a native to Northwest Arkansas I have grown to truly appreciate the beauty of the surrounding area and have devloped a love for the people living in this community. I feel blessed to participate in a rewarding profession that allows for daily interaction with so many amazing children. Being a Physical Therapist specializing in pediatrics has allowed for a continuum of personal and professional growth and opened doors to life changing opportunities including participating in medical mission trips to special needs orphanages in Ukraine and helping to establish the first and only elementary school for children with special needs in Northwest Arkansas. My first trip to Ukraine was particularly life changing in that I met and feel in love with my daughter now of three years! Having a daughter with special needs has made me a more rounded therapist.
