About Me
Michelle grew up in the Chicago area where she enjoyed being active in sports and the community by playing volleyball, soccer, fast-pitch softball, captaining her high school basketball team, and volunteering with local charities and causes.

Michelle attended Saint Louis University (SLU) entering the PT program as a freshman. After graduating from SLU, she traveled in Europe before joining the workforce. She then accepted a role in an outpatient orthopedic clinic in Carson City, NV, the Lake Tahoe area, where for 2 years she enjoyed helping patients rehab from a variety of injuries and surgeries.

Although she’s interested in treating all types of orthopedic injuries, Michelle especially enjoys working with pediatric athletes looking to return from an injury to the sport(s) they love. In the future, she plans to attain an Orthopedic Specialty (OCS) and participate in research for ACL injury preventions in pediatric athletes.
