After graduating from the University of Miami, I spent the first four years of my career as a paralegal (Greenberg Traurig, Kaye Scholer, Manatt, Phelps & Phillips), and then spent the next decade in hedge fund operations, regulatory compliance, and data governance at global financial institutions including Bridgewater Associates, OppenheimerFunds, and BNY Mellon. That may sound like an unusual background for a rehabilitation clinic owner, but it's the reason Continuum is Florida's first AAAHC accredited personal injury-focused wellness center.

Across my career, one lesson held up everywhere: systems matter most when the margin for error is zero. In regulated environments, the gap between a clean process and a sloppy one carries real consequences. 

Running complex regulatory data remediation projects taught me what airtight compliance looks like. Derivatives trading operations taught me what documentation that holds up looks like. And building an end-to-end counterparty liquidity workflow at the largest hedge fund in the world taught me how to design systems where nothing falls through the cracks. That same obsession with operational excellence is engineered into every part of Continuum—and it's what sets us apart.

I grew up in a health-focused household that shaped my lifelong appreciation for wellness and patient care. My father is an integrative physician of more than 45 years (now seeing patients at Continuum!), and my mother is a dedicated yoga therapist. Together, they instilled in me the importance of compassionate, holistic healing. 

After witnessing my mother’s challenging recovery from an accident, I was inspired to help others on their own healing journeys and saw better ways to do it, beginning with well-designed processes, obsessive documentation, and a world-class care team that communicates with each other between your visits. With Continuum, I am proud to bring you a differentiated, patient-centered approach to healing.
