"I am very excited to be a new member of OSR working at the Eden Prairie clinic. I am originally from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada where I grew up very involved in sports such as swimming, track and field, figure skating, Ukrainian dancing and watching a lot of hockey. However, artistic gymnastics was always my passion and I was grateful to be able to travel all over the country to compete at the Elite and National level. When I was 18, I moved to Illinois to attend college on a full gymnastics scholarship at Illinois State University. I also spent 1 year involved in my school’s acrobatic circus. After graduating with my Bachelor’s degree, I moved to Kentucky where I graduated with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from The University of Kentucky.
While spending many hours in the gym, I sustained multiple injuries and spent my fair share of time in physical therapy. It was through this personal experience that I fell in love with the profession of physical therapy and knew that I wanted to spend my career helping athletes and active individuals get back to their respected sports and activities just as someone had done for me for so many years.
I plan to be active in the gymnastics population as well as high school and community events as I become settled into the Eden Prairie clinic. I also have a great interest in all sport and orthopedic injuries and look forward to working with all people to help them achieve their PT goals."
