I have been a Recreational Therapist since 2023, graduating from Central Michigan University with my bachelor’s in Recreation Parks and Leisure; Therapeutic Recreation Concentration and two minors in Community Inclusion and Psychology.

I have professional experience in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Craig Hospital, specializing in spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries. I have also worked as a Registered Behavioral Technician at an autism center and most recently in mental health for over a year and a half on a psychiatric unit with adults and geriatrics. These experiences and more have strengthened my therapeutic practices as a CTRS.

My passions and hobbies include playing pickleball, hiking, crafting, traveling, spending time with family, and playing with my two dogs and two cats. I love helping those in need, physically, mentally, and emotionally through all hardships. Life is hard sometimes, but recreation and leisure is healing! Life doesn't always go our way, but there is always growth happening. It’s all part of the adventure!

Life is an adventure, let's explore!
