About
Biography
I am a pediatric physical therapist and a lead in the research program of the Division of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy at Cincinnati Children's. I hold various leadership roles that allow me to ensure that therapy models align with best practice. I have led the development of a wellness menu of services and have strengthened the emphasis of intervention in the division by ensuring the routine measurement of changes in 'participation'. I also serve as a principal investigator on a number of studies emphasizing the exploration of factors associated with the attainment of functional goals.
I have won a significant amount of prestigious awards such as the National Institute of Health Loan Repayment Award, the Advanced Improvement Methodology graduate, and the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center's Patient Advisory Council's Making a Difference Award.
