Why I do what I do
Sports, sports medicine and helping people perform to the best of their abilities is what I do. As a Division 1 collegiate athlete and now a high level rugby player, I know how hard I had to work to recover from intense training sessions and games and what it took to come back from injuries. My degrees in sports medicine means working with active people is second-nature for me. All of this experience has shown me the benefits of pain management and it is a very simple extension to transfer this from the playing field to everyday life. I want to help you live with less pain, sleep better, learn about your body and simply live your life without restriction. You choose your activities and you set your own goals. From rugby to running to gardening or anything else you dream of, let me help you feel your best, perform your best and reach your goals.
A little bit about me
I can be found on the sidelines or in the training room working with the USA Eagles National Rugby Team, Denver Highlanders Rugby Football Club or at the University of Denver covering rugby teams providing high level medical coverage, rehabilitation and of course massage therapy! From 2011-2015, and 2019 to present time, I am the head athletic trainer covering all sports, which include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track & field, volleyball and wrestling at Denver South High School. I have worked with DC United and the Colorado Rapids and special events, such as the Denver 7s Rugby Tournament, High School All-American Rugby selection camp, USA Rugby National Championships, Rocky Mountain Challenge (premier high school select-side rugby tournament), AAU Wrestling and numerous Colorado state high school championships and tournaments.
When not providing medical coverage at sporting events or providing massage therapy, I still love to compete. I play with Black Ice Women's Rugby Club and, from time to time, jump in as the goalkeeper in various co-ed soccer leagues. In my down-time, I love to catch a Rockies or Avalanche game, enjoy the Colorado outdoors or cook up something new and exciting at home. Active lifestyles are beneficial to your long term health, I want you to feel great doing it and may find me competing along side of you.
