Physical Therapy Aide
Emilee was born in Monroe, a tiny town in Washington state. She grew up very close to the mountains, so hiking was the best! Emilee grew up playing soccer, basketball, and ran track throughout middle school and high school. In her senior year of high school, she tore her ACL playing basketball. Going through rehabilitation, it sparked her interest in physical therapy. After high school, she was recruited to run track & field at Concordia University Irvine where she competed in long jump and triple jump. At school, she had amazing kinesiology professors who inspired her to want to pursue physical therapy. Their passion to care for and love people is what she wants to emulate. Emilee just graduated with her bachelor’s of science in Kinesiology. Her goal is to get into a doctorate of physical therapy program and become a PT herself! In her free time, Emilee loves going to the beach, cooking, working out, hanging with friends, helping at church, and traveling to new places!
