DPT, Simmons College, Boston, MA
I am an assistant clinical professor of Health Science, earned my Bachelors of Science degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Connecticut, my clinical Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Simmons College, and my Doctorate of Philosophy degree in Physical Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. My professional career has spanned both the clinical and academic settings. Clinically I am expanding on my twenty-year career as a physical therapist, during which I have treated patients in the acute, subacute, rehabilitative, out-patient, and homecare settings. I started my academic career in 2007 working for Quinnipiac University’s School of Health Science. I have taught a variety of courses in both graduate and undergraduate programs. Currently I teach undergraduate courses in the Health Science Studies program, which consist of Medical Terminology, Therapeutic Exercise, Health Care Essentials, International Health Research, and International Health: Capstone Research. Biannually my world-sized classroom encourages students out of the country and into new communities with trips to Costa Rica, Barbados, and the Dominican Republic. There student catalysts engage in health research while learning important clinical interpersonal skills. My research interests include human health, longevity, and environmental influences on natural movement.
