Warwick Forest Rehabilitation Team

I am a Speech Therapist at The Gardens. I decided to major in Speech Language Pathology after my grandmother suffered her first of five strokes. I wanted to help support her and my family with her limitations. I am certified in Vital Stimulation, Electrical Stimulation, Deep Pharyngeal Neuromuscular Stimulation and Lee Silverman Voice Treatment.

I have been with Riverside, specifically The Gardens, off and on for 17 years. For me, treating each patient better than we would want to be treated--with kindness, respect, honesty and professionalism--is the core value that sets the tone at Riverside.

I am an Occupational Therapy Assistant. I chose this field because it is very rewarding to help people become as independent as physically possible. I enjoy working with this population because they are so interesting and willing to share their life experiences. I am trained and certified in Physical Agent Modalities (PAM). I believe in treating everyone with respect, honesty and in a professional manner.

Outside of work I enjoy golf, hiking, sports and gardening. I grew up in Woodbridge, VA and my husband and I have three children.
