Nothing gives you a greater appreciation for the body than watching someone recover from trauma. As an internationally trained physiotherapist, I spent the beginning of my career in hospitals in Dubai and Pakistan working with surgical patients. In most cases, these patients had undergone serious procedures that impacted their physical ability. But week after week I would watch them make incredible progress and regain their mobility—a true testament to what the body can do.

The best part of my job is watching people overcome their biggest obstacles, whether it be pain or injury. Their resiliency keeps me motivated to learn. That’s why I love working with people who have chronic health conditions and helping them maintain a healthy lifestyle that will impact all areas of their lives. I never shy away from a challenge and I love learning something new about the body.

When I’m not working directly with patients, you’ll likely find me working on a new certification or course. I’m fascinated with finding new ways to help my patients manage their pain and strengthen their abilities. It’s one of the many reasons I love working at Align. Everyone here shares the same passion for helping people and every day there is an opportunity to learn something new.
