Heather had known she wanted to be a PT ever since she was 13 years old. She had two life experiences that lead her to the profession of Physical Therapy; the first was watching her grandmother struggle with declining function due to MS, and the second was participating in physical therapy as a patient following an ankle injury and surgery.
Following graduation, she wanted to further progress within the profession thus she completed a year-long orthopaedic residency and took/passed the Orthopaedic Clinical Specialty exam in 2009 (and renewed the specialty certification in 2019). She began treating TMJ in 2008, and vertigo in 2011.
Heather grew up playing softball and still loves watching sports. She has been a part of the volunteer medical staff for the Vista Murrieta HS Broncos football team since 2012.
In her free-time Heather enjoys cooking and gardening with her husband and two daughters.
