As a former collegiate athlete and Doctor of Physical Therapy, I experienced firsthand the value of seamless collaboration between medical and performance professionals. That experience shaped my approach to athlete care and ultimately led to the creation of Impact Rx.

For more than six years, I have worked in private practice and hospital-based settings with a focus on sports medicine, orthopedic physical therapy, and sports rehabilitation. I have had the opportunity to collaborate with strength and conditioning coaches, athletic trainers, medical providers, and rehabilitation professionals working with athletes from youth sports through professional organizations.

Throughout my career, I recognized a gap between sports medicine, rehabilitation, and performance. Too often, coaches and medical providers lack the objective data and communication needed to make informed decisions about an athlete's health, performance, and return to sport. Impact Rx was created to help bridge that gap.

Education & Experience

I earned my Master's degree in Kinesiology from Briar Cliff University, where I worked alongside Collegiate strength and conditioning coaches and developed a deeper understanding of biomechanics and human performance.

I went on to earn my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Briar Cliff University in 2020. Following graduation, I completed an Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and subsequently became a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS). Less than 2% of all Doctors of Physical Therapy hold these credentials, and I feel it has given me a unique ability to high level evidence into practical clinical practice and performance.

I have also served as a mentor, and member on sports medicine councils and ACL committees, collaborating with surgeons, athletic trainers, physical therapists, and strength and conditioning professionals to develop evidence-based approaches to ACL rehabilitation, injury management, and return-to-sport. I have a passion for empowering clinicians and athletes alike to build their knowledge, character, and expertise.

These experiences have shaped an evidence-based, data-driven approach focused on helping athletes recover from injury, build resilience, reduce injury risk, and perform at their highest level.
