Hello, I am excited to be at Seton Hill University as a professor in the DPT program. Before coming to SHU I was a practicing Physical Therapist working in mostly outpatient orthopedic and sports settings. I enjoy working with patients and helping them reach their goals and through that process be able to see their improvement compared to when they first came to Physical Therapy. I am embracing the opportunity to bring my clinical knowledge and expertise to the students in the DPT program at Seton Hill University.
