I graduated Brooklyn College in 1979 with a B.A. in Economics. In 1995 a midlife career change brought me to Kingsborough Community College and the Pre-Physical Therapist program. I received an A.S. degree and in 1997 entered the Physical Therapist Assistant Program at New York University. I received my A.A.S. in Physical Therapist Assistant and upon graduation began work as a PTA in a local private practice. In 2005 I joined the staff of the Physical Therapist Assistant Program here at Kingsborough as the Laboratory Technician for the program. I have continued to practice as a PTA through per diem work at area nursing homes and part time work at local private practices.
