About

My relationship with golf has gone through a bit of a transformation: from elementary school introductions with my dad on the driving range, middle school flirtations competing in very small 9-hole matches, high school love-hate in training and competition, and a college break up after not being able to walk-on to a D1 team.
​
I left the clubs at my parents' house and redirected my attention to academics. I started out with a major in biology with the plan to become a physician, but after an awful time getting through Chemistry II, I began looking into other options that were more appealing...like anatomy and biomechanics!
 
Now, everything is not for everyone, but when I noticed my interest was piqued with talk of muscle attachments and actions, it was enough to motivate me through Human Physiology. I completed my Bachelor's degree from Baylor University in 2011 and continued my educational journey to Physical Therapy school at Northern Arizona University.
​
And I was in heaven! 
​
I graduated with my Doctorate degree in 2014 and started my first career position in a nationally ranked outpatient clinic in Texas where I focused my skills on helping patients recover from life-changing neurologic conditions like stroke, acquired brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, neurological degenerative diseases like Parkinson's Disease and ALS. I thoroughly enjoyed my work there but had to re-locate as my spouse's career lead us to South Carolina.
​
We enjoyed the warm (understated) climate of SC for a short year, where I was able to dabble my PT skills back into the world of orthopedics just before we were pulled across country (literally, across the whole entire country) to Washington at the start of the Pandemic in 2020. Olympia, WA is where I caught the bug...the GOLF BUG!!!
​
After 13 years of not really playing any "serious" golf, the persistent callings of my clinic manager sister friend to join her for a tee time steadily blew a zephyr across my low burning golf flame. And POOF! GAME ON!!!!!
​
The small snowball at the top of the mountain started rolling down the hill and before I knew it, I was playing in the ladies league on my off day, working in the Pro Shop on the weekends, teaching First Tee, giving private lessons, hosting ladies groups, playing at charity events, started a position as assistant coach for the local community college; all while working full time in the physical therapy clinic.
​
It took me a little longer than maybe it should have for me to realize that my hobby was turning into something much more. Could it be passion? Obsession? Love?! I mean, I knew I loved the sport (like, c'mon, my husband proposed to me on a golf course!), but something felt different inside of me. Something was missing from my work that was previously there; but I know I hadn't lost my love for physical therapy. What was it? Purpose. I gave myself a deadline to build up my golf clientele before quitting my clinic job.

October 13, 2023 was my last day in the clinic. Then November 11, 2023 I found out I was pregnant. April 1, 2024 we moved to Texas. And summer 2024 we welcomed Baby M to our home. And I thought the Pandemic was wild! Ha!

New city, new clinic job (now in pelvic health!), new golf courses. Here I am, now with the capacity to continue building out my purpose! The interesting thing about people, is we're all pretty much the same. We all have aches and pains, impairments and limitations, with the same goal to feel better so we can do what we love (eh-hem GOLF!).
