Michaela acquired her physical therapy assistant (PTA) degree from Itawamba Community College in Mississippi and has been practicing since 2016. Immediately out of school, she started working for a combined facility with skilled nursing, outpatient, and inpatient care. Michaela says she realized that she enjoyed working in the inpatient rehab setting most and began to pursue working in an acute inpatient rehab facility full time. She joined the Accel team part time in January 2021 and full time the following March.
“I chose physical therapy as a career because I have always loved helping people. It is rewarding for me to see patients recover, encourage them when they may be at their lowest, and to be a friend and help in their loneliest times.”
