About
It all started with music.
What initially started as ‘just a student club’ I co-founded, Music & Medicine, pairing my passion for the saxophone with my studies, little did I know how much it would impact my life forever.
We made regular appearances in our local community like nursing homes & treatment centers, but there was one particular event in Stony Brook University Hospital that still gives me goosebumps to this day!
The performance was just like any other, except for one unforgettable moment. I was playing Sinatra’s “Fly Me To The Moon” when suddenly… One of the patient’s eyes began to open.
People in the room were in disbelief. Nurses, social worker, the patient’s mother, because this wasn’t right. Something was extremely out of the ordinary.
As it turned out, the patient who woke was actually in a coma for the past two weeks. By pure coincidence, he had a particular love for Frank Sinatra and woke up to the sound of his music.
That incredible moment was the calling I’m forever grateful for.
I’ve since made it my mission to help & serve others, not through music, but as a committed and passionate occupational therapist.
But passion isn’t enough.
I’ve dedicated many years to mastering my craft. I graduated valedictorian from Long Island University with a Masters in Occupational Therapy, specialising in orthopaedic rehabilitation here at Rewind Rehab.
Striving to deliver the best service requires sacrifice.
Sacrifices I’ve committed to, in order to always improve and match the changing needs in care.
Below is just a small list of my credentials:
M.Sc in Occupational Therapy
B.Sc in Health Science
Certified Active Release Technique Manual Therapist (cART)
Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner (CKTP)
Certified Ergonomics Assessment Specialist (CEAS)
So… if you’re looking for someone who is both passionate & up-to-date with the latest methods of therapy to help you achieve the best results.
