Jennifer’s introduction to physiotherapy began as an athlete. She was drawn to the idea that exercise-based interventions could lead to the recovery from injuries.
Jennifer has been working as a physiotherapist for more than 18 years. During her time working in the hospital in 2010, Jennifer started down the path of hand therapy, gaining extensive experience in surgical and non-surgical cases. Jennifer enjoys the challenges involved in dealing with the hand and its intricacies. She enjoys sharing in the positive impact that patients experience when reaching their therapy goals. Jennifer left the hospital setting and joined the Pan Am Rehabilitation Services Team in 2019.
When not at work, Jennifer can be found at the cottage, running with her two dogs, and spending time with her young family, at a park or riding their bikes.
