"I truly thrive on helping people feel and move better, and love to work with clients of all ages. In my spare time, I enjoy mountain biking, beaches, snow skiing (especially moguls), water sports, and watching my kids play sports. I have four delightful and energetic children with my adventurous husband, Mike. For the past 20 years, I have enjoyed working together at Back to Action PT with my physical therapist sister, Brenda."

“I love the field of physical therapy and my role in helping people return to their life pleasures and activities! My favorite thing is to educate people how to move their bodies after an injury and help them through a hands’on and specific exercise approach. I grew up in Colorado and love spending time with my husband and four teenagers doing activities like: water-skiing, snow skiing, and watching a lot of basketball.”

"As Back To Action's Patient Care Coordinator I take care of front desk duties, patient scheduling, patient care, insurance verification and fielding of insurance questions, as well as spending time getting to know the physicians in our medical community to better help serve our patients' needs. Prior to coming to Back to Action, I was a Personal Injury Paralegal for 20 years which has helped me in some aspects of my current job, but I much prefer working in our clinic and interacting with our great patients.

When I am not at work, I love spending time with my husband and 3 children. We enjoy all types of outdoor activities that Colorado is famous for, watching my sons play lacrosse and baseball, and searching for the best dog parks and hiking spots for our 3 dogs."

Before coming to Back to Action, I attended Baylor University and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Science. My studies focused on chemistry and biology which lead me to become interested in the medical field. Being a physical therapist aide/ receptionist is an amazing experience and is a great way to start getting involved in healthcare.
