Her sports injuries as a gymnast and cheerleader led her towards her career in physical therapy. She quickly understood that to fully improve your health and wellbeing, one must improve their whole body wellness through exercise, nutrition and positive mental health.

She was a competitive gymnast in California and enjoyed the athleticism and challenge of gymnastics. She even competed in the California Junior Olympics. Her favorite gymnastics event is the Floor Routine as she was a natural-born performer.
