Tackling health misinformation one story at a time
My mission is to challenge health misinformation by improving knowledge translation from research to clinicians and patients.
I am a Certified Specialist in Orthopedic Physical Therapy. I currently serve as the National Director of Quality and Research and Orthopedic Residency Program Coordinator at PT Solutions Physical Therapy.
