As a new addition to the Rock Valley family, I thought I'd better introduce myself in RVPT "blog-world" as well. I am so excited to join this team of extraordinary professionals, and look forward to meeting and helping many new faces in the Peoria community.
I grew up in Indianapolis, IN where my interest in physical therapy was sparked; this is what drew me west to Peoria to attend Bradley University. Although I had not intented to stay in this area after obtaining my Doctorate (DPT) degree in 2010, I was blessed to meet my husband while at Bradley, and we have decided to call Peoria "home." With him growing up in a small town south of Springfield, IL, this is a perfect middle ground for us in many ways.In our spare time, we enjoy spending as much time as we can outdoors with a variety of recreational activities. We also love to travel to see friends and family as often as possible.
Professionally speaking, my background is two years practicing in a rural community north of Peoria where I treated a wide variety of diagnoses and age-groups. I have also developed a niche interest Vestibular Rehabilitation, treating individuals with complaints of dizziness and imbalance, and have advanced training in this area.
