Certified Lymphedema Therapist
I was inspired to get into healthcare by a combination of personal experiences and a deep-seated desire to make a positive impact on people’s lives. Growing up, I witnessed the challenges that individuals and their families face when dealing with health issues. These experiences instilled in me a sense of empathy and a strong drive to help others in their times of need.
In the Department of Physical Therapy, Patricia treats patients suffering from lymphedema by helping them manage swelling, improve mobility, and enhance their quality of life.
I enjoy spending time with my family, baking, gardening, watching movies, and reading.
I noticed that there was a gap in specialized care for lymphedema patients in many healthcare settings. Lymphedema can be a complex condition that requires specific expertise for effective management. Knowing that I could fill this gap and become a resource for patients in need motivated me to pursue lymphedema as my specialty.
