Featured Quote:

"Out of all the functions of a PTLI Board member, I see myself as an innovator, a driver of change, and an advocate. I believe in fostering innovate dialogue to bring differing viewpoints together. As a driver of change, I believe that questioning and challenging the status quo can lead to transformative change in PT education and practice. Finally, I am an advocate who strives to build a community that values diversity, equity, and inclusion in all that I do."
