Location:: Clark Road; "I became a PTA because I had been in and out of therapy through out my middle school and high school years. As a patient I enjoyed how one person could change someone's day so drastically. It was then I decided to enter into the therapy field. To this day I still live by the saying "if you can make someone's bad day turn into a good day then it's all worth it". I strive to help get people back to their previous level of function. To me that is worth every ounce of hard work and dedication it takes to become a PTA."
