About Me

Alexis is originally from Dayton, Ohio and grew up dividing her time between playing sports, reading, and creating art. She attended Indiana Wesleyan University (Go Wildcats!) in Marion, IN and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training in 2021. Throughout her time as an athletic training student, she gained experience working with high school and collegiate level athletes in a variety of sports. During her gap year between her undergraduate and doctorate degrees, she worked as a PT technician where she gained an appreciation for treating patients with hypermobility spectrum disorders, chronic pain, and musculoskeletal disorders. She then made the trek from Ohio to A.T. Still University (ATSU) in Mesa, AZ where she received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy. During her time at ATSU, she gained experience with an emphasis on whole-person health care in various settings including outpatient orthopedics, pelvic/women’s health, and professional sports. She has experience working with professional athletes at Athletes Unlimited, as well as with the Arizona Diamondbacks during her terminal clinical internship. She has since graduated with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy, and is now pursuing an orthopedic residency through ATSU in order to further boost her knowledge to provide the best treatment to her patients.

Outside of the clinic, Alexis enjoys staying active by rock climbing, weight lifting, and walking. She also loves to read, spend time with friends and family, explore new coffee shops, take care of her plant collection, and hang out with her small zoo consisting of her two bunnies, leopard gecko, and bearded dragon.
