I started Concierge Orthopedics in 2016 to give patients one-on-one care without the restrictions of insurance. The more I told fellow physical therapists about the business model, the more interested they became. In 2021, I began working on a framework that enabled physical therapists to sign on with Concierge Orthopedics through a licensing agreement so they can work under our business license and have their own cash-pay practice without the hassle of setting up their own PLLC, website, and everything that comes with start-ups.

This journey in my nonprofit career has been an amazing one and one with its downfalls. Read more>>

My goal was to be writing feature stories on athletes or covering a team as well as becoming a producer for a sports TV show. Every job and internship had me on that path preparing me to reach my dreams but recently I realized I may want to do something else. Read more>>
