Assistant Professor
Rutgers School of Health Professions
Summit, NJ, United States
I received my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Washington University in St. Louis and I am currently an assistant professor in the Occupational Therapy Doctorate Program at Rutgers University. My clinical expertise enables me to currently teach 1) Adult Physical Rehabilitation, 2) Upper Extremity Function, Physical Agent Modalities, and Occupational Performance, 3) Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology, and 4) OT Process with Older Adults. Prior to academia, I was a Clinical Specialist at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation with expertise in the treatment of stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, amputee (pre-prosthetic and prosthetic) and orthopedic injuries. During my 12-year employment at Kessler, I engaged in initiatives and management of division-wide stroke program teams to ensure advancements in best practice, technology, patient and staff education and the fundamentals of program performance. I have published 6 peer reviewed journal articles and presented at dozens of conferences. My scholarship interests consist of adult physical rehabilitation, older adults, education, technology, spatial neglect, and interprofessional practice (IPP). I believe that my clinical expertise and background will allow me to be a productive member of the Atlantic Health team.
