I was drawn to physical therapy because of its unique blend of science and compassion. Helping patients regain mobility and independence after injury or illness is incredibly rewarding. Working in a hospital setting allows me to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and address complex cases, which challenges me to grow professionally while making a meaningful impact on patients' lives during critical moments.

I prioritize patients based on acuity, discharge timelines, and treatment goals. I use time management tools like scheduling software and daily task lists to stay organized. Communication with the care team ensures alignment, and I remain flexible to adapt to emergencies. By staying proactive and efficient, I ensure all patients receive timely, high-quality care.

I have extensive experience post-surgical rehabilitation, including joint replacements, spinal surgeries, and cardiac procedures. I focus on early mobilization, pain management, and patient education to prevent complications. I tailor exercises to each patient’s condition and recovery stage, ensuring safe progress while monitoring for signs of complications like infections or blood clots.

I approach resistant patients with empathy, seeking to understand their concerns or fears. I educate them on the benefits of therapy and set small, achievable goals to build confidence. By fostering a supportive environment and celebrating progress, I help patients see the value in their efforts, which often increases their motivation and engagement.

I regularly attend professional conferences, complete continuing education courses, and read peer-reviewed journals. I also participate in online forums and collaborate with colleagues to share knowledge. Staying updated ensures I provide evidence-based care and incorporate innovative techniques to improve patient outcomes and enhance my clinical skills.
