- Helping build CMH’s relationship with Stockton Schools to provide athletic training services.
- Developing and launching the Cardiac Wellness program at Stockton Rehabilitation Clinic.
- Serving as Center Coordinator of Clinical Education for physical therapy students, helping train the next generation of therapists.
She also supports co-workers and patients behind the scenes, coordinating community fundraisers, helping patients access equipment and resources, and training new employees in Meditech and documentation processes.
