Favorite Part of Working at Sprouts:

I am so excited to work with the entire team at Sprouts in such a collaborative environment. I feel that a multidiscplinary approach provides the best outcomes, and Sprouts strives to put the patients first. I am also very excited to get to utilize horses in therapy and to merge two of my passions together.

I am originally from Bakersfield, California, but I have lived all over the United States. I try to find something unique and special about every place that I live. 

Hobbies and Interests

Spending time with my family is my favorite thing to do. I enjoy being outside, whether it is in the ocean scuba diving, hiking around the island, or spending time with horses. I also love being active and try to incorporate yoga or weightlifting into my daily routine.
