As a traveling Physical Therapist, I have the unique privilege of exploring different cities across the U.S., much like a traveling nurse—yes, we can do that too! Over the past two years, I’ve been fortunate to have a career that not only allows me to pursue my passion for physical therapy but also lets me experience new cultures for 3-4 months at a time in various locations. My passion for adventure, movement, and wellness is what led me to pursue a career in physical therapy, where I combine my love of movement with helping others stay active and healthy, no matter their journey.
