Dr. Monika grew up in NC before heading to Florida to complete her undergraduate degree in Sport Management at Pensacola Christian college. She returned to NC to pursue her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Wingate University. Throughout her program, she had the opportunity to work with a wide range of athletes and weekend warriors through her sports-focused clinical rotations in conjunction with collegiate strength and conditioning programs. She has a strong interest in outpatient orthopedics and sports medicine with an interest in pursuing a vestibular/concussion specialty certification. She loves to not only help people accomplish their rehab goals but empower them to take control of their health and wellness. When not in the clinic, Monika enjoys staying active by lifting weights, competing by playing pickleball and crushing game night, and discovering all the best coffee shops and thrifty finds. Monika is excited to be starting her physical therapy career here at Healthy Body PT and getting to know the Lake Norman community!
