PT, DPT, Cert.DN, USATF-1
Physical Therapist, Owner

I went to high school in Anna, OH until graduating in 2008. I went to The University of Toledo and earned my Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science in 2012 and my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2015. I moved to Wapakoneta and have lived there with my 6-year-old son ever since! I worked at Otterbein in Cridersville for 18 months prior to starting Back on Track PT in 2017.

I’ve always been into sports, but running became my passion during high school. What started as a way to stay in shape for basketball evolved into what would become a lifelong obsession with running. I wasn’t always a great runner, placing near last place in my first 2-mile race but I improved quickly and placed top-10 by the last race of the season. As I grew through the years, I learned to love the middle-distance track and field races, winning our district races for the 800-meter dash in two consecutive years and having success in the 400-meter dash also. I was recruited by multiple Universities but opted to focus on my school. My grades hadn’t been the main focus during high school which resulted in average marks.

I knew that if I was to graduate with a degree from college, I would need to focus on school and collegiate sports are basically a full-time job. I had always set high expectations for myself, and my choice of career reflected this. I wanted to be in the medical field so that I could help people, but I didn’t want to be around bodily fluids, so I chose to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy. This would allow me to work with athletes, particularly runners, work in the medical field, and would be a suitable challenge for me. I graduated from PT school in 2015 and started my practice in 2017. Around that time, I began coaching runners across the world over the internet. My focus was on helping injured runners return to the road and trails. During this time, I worked directly with athletes from Australia, Ireland, Kenya, and many other countries. I mentored several running and sports medicine experts in the field to better prepare for working with the athletic population. I’ve been working with athletes of all ages for over 8 years and continue to study research articles and continue to learn from experts in the field to continue growing my knowledge and further my skills as a physical therapist. Also, I received my certification in dry needling and my USA Track and Field Coaching Certification in 2020.
Determination, empathy, and integrity.

As the owner of the company, I make sure that we maintain the highest standard of care so that our patients reach their goals. As a PT, I work hard to ensure patients are heard and that our plan helps them reach THEIR goals, regardless of the insurance companies or any other restraints. I specialize in working with runners and athletes who have pain while practicing or playing their sport!

I want patients to understand that their pain is temporary and that it can get better. Your pain or injury isn’t a death sentence and you WILL get better with the right actions.

Any condition in which the patient is motivated and dedicated to getting better!

I enjoy working with active people and being able to actually have them run, throw, lift weights, etc because we have everything needed to do those things right here in the building! I really like the Alter-G (Anti-Gravity Treadmill) because it’s like running on the moon! You can run with as little as 20 percent of your body weight going through your body which is really helpful when it hurts to walk or run!

When I’m not at work, my favorite thing is spending quality time with my family. I love being outside playing basketball, running, hiking, or biking. I also enjoy playing the guitar, watching shows, or playing video games.
