After moving to the PNW, I started to pursue a PT degree. I worked as an aide in a local clinic before being accepted into PT school. I graduated in 2000 from Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon with a Master of Science in Physical Therapy. I worked at the former Apple Physical Therapy in Auburn then moved to Physiotherapy Associates after having my first daughter. It was there that I met Kim.
