      Responsibilities include carrying out the POC with patients in the Restore Fx Functional Restoration program, “an interdisciplinary program designed to restore function, increase a patient’s ability to function with pain, improve quality of life, reduce reliance on medication and/or other healthcare services and bring case closure to Worker’s Compensation cases through return to work.” I also work with patients in the Work Hardening program with the goal of the patient to return to work via improving their biomechanical, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and psycho-social functioning.

      I began driving as a Delivery Expert for this company in December of 2012, transferred to working on the inside of the store as a Customer Service Representative/Pizza Maker in 2013 and took a promotion to become a Shift Leader/Assistant Manager in late 2016. My latest responsibilities have been for the management of employees and operation of a high-volume store, providing excellent customer service, ensuring products are consistent with company quality standards, managing labor, maintaining inventory, cash control/security procedures, motivation and training of employees, janitorial duties as well as learning to collaborate with a slew of different General Managers, each having a management style of their own. This job has given me invaluable experience of working on a team as well as directly with a variety of different supervisors to operate high volume stores in a high stress environment. Show less

      • Mar 2019 - Apr 2019

      Clinical experience in the school-based therapy setting where I learned the differences between an educational model versus a medical model of physical therapy. I worked under the supervision of two clinical instructors (one a PT and the other a PTA) providing integrated and collaborative school-based therapy to students in ECC, Explorer, PALS, PSI and SLL classrooms. I learned to use a variety of assistive and adaptive technology for purposes of positioning, mobility, and accessibility of the student in their educational environment, documented student’s progress towards achieving their goals and filled out documentations of school function.

      • Nov 2018 - Dec 2018

      Clinical experience in the outpatient setting where I took what I learned from my previous acute care clinical and integrated it into this setting. I treated higher functioning patients which gave me an opportunity to practice the more creative side of the PTA job by getting to progress them at a faster rate and collaborate with my CI. I practiced manual therapy such as joint mobilizations, massage, and lymphatic drainage, coordination and balance activities, industrial rehab and, all it encompasses, as well as testing clients going into industrial work such as on the railroad or offshore oil rigs, etc. Show less
