1. Why did you become a Physical Therapist? 

I knew I wanted to be a Physical Therapist from a young age. I desired a medical profession with a diverse scope of practice that was employed 9 to 5.

 

2. What do you like about working at CURA?

Working with a niche group of patients in a setting that is peaceful and allows 30 minute & 1 hour treatment sessions. Working with a group of colleagues that value lifelong learning and are extremely knowledgeable and collaborative. The great admin team is an asset too.

 

3. What brings you joy? What inspires you? 

I experience joy when I am able to assist patients in their recovery in a timely manner. Curiosity and high standards inspire me to continue to be a lifelong learner.

 

4. What have you done to manage the pandemic? 

I followed our college’s regulations for working as a PT and attended several on-line courses including treating patients during the pandemic with acupuncture.

At home I have enjoyed having my 3 kids around the supper table every night as normally they would be out playing sports or studying for university. I have also been learning new recipes while assisting my daughter, she is becoming a gourmet cook!
