I have been involved in gymnastics my entire life. I started competing in elementary school and competed around the country through high school. Unfortunately, I sustained injuries that did not allow me to continue gymnastics; however, this opened the door to diving, as well as my passion for physical therapy. I competed for the Northeastern University Swimming and Diving team before continuing my studies to earn my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2013.

While I loved my PT career working with children with special needs, I always wanted to combine my passions for gymnastics and physical therapy. I have been coaching gymnastics and choreographing since high school and have spent the past 5 years developing programming to reduce injuries and further the sport of gymnastics through science-based training and techniques. In 2014 I joined Precision Choreography and since then have taken part in gymnastics camps and clinics from Alaska to Vermont, as well as choreographed beginner through elite-level routines.

I love being able to share my knowledge and excitement for gymnastics with coaches and athletes around the country.
