I am originally from Sulphur, Louisiana, and graduated from Sulphur High School in 2019. I went on to attend McNeese State University, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Health and Human Performance with a concentration in Pre-Physical Therapy in 2022. I then pursued my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, graduating in 2025.
I chose physical therapy after seeing firsthand the impact it had on my family. When I was young, my dad was involved in an accident that required surgery, and physical therapy played a huge role in helping him return to work and regain his independence. Watching that process sparked my interest early on, and I knew from that point on that physical therapy was what I wanted to do with my life.
Core Values: Kindness, Compassion, Helping others to the best of my ability.
“Small, consistent progress creates powerful change.“
At this point in my career, I consider myself a “jack of all trades” as I continue to gain experience and explore where my interests lie within physical therapy. I enjoy working with a wide variety of patients and conditions and have especially enjoyed treating hand and upper-extremity conditions.
Thrive is an ideal place to work, especially as a new graduate. My coworkers are always willing to help, answer questions, and provide guidance when I’m unsure about a technique or clinical decision. The company as a whole is genuinely supportive and encourages you to pursue your passions while helping you build confidence as a clinician.
