About Me:
Bri graduated from Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT, in 2008 with her undergraduate degree in Athletic Training. She continued at Sacred Heart University to obtain her doctorate degree in physical therapy in 2011. Bri spent 3 years working at an outpatient facility with primarily a sports medicine population, however, found herself gravitating towards working with the geriatric population and loving every minute.
She then transitioned to working at a rehabilitation center in their outpatient facility working primarily with the geriatric population. It was during this time she obtained her Certified Exercise Expert for the Aging Adult (CEEAA). She assisted in growing and managing the outpatient clinic from one clinician only, to having a full staff and one of the most popular outpatient rehab facilities in the area for geriatrics. Here, she worked daily with clients following joint replacements, both surgical and non-surgical fractures, spinal surgery, balance and falls, arthritis, cardiac procedures, neurological conditions, and so much more.
Bri moved to Arizona to explore all that the Valley of the Sun has to offer. She enjoys exploring different hiking routes, touring Sedona, skiing in Flagstaff, and going to ASU Football games. Bri especially looks forward to spending the winters doing activities, other than shoveling!
