Whitney has been a lifelong multiple sport athlete. She’s competed in tennis, karate, basketball, track, cross country, and soccer. After an ACL injury as a teenager, she focused exclusively on soccer, attending UIW on an athletic and academic scholarship where she was a 4-year starter, freshman defender of the year, and multiple-year scholar athlete.

After college, she completed a Doctorate in Physical Therapy in Denver then returned to Texas where she completed residency training in Orthopedics and was part of the EIM OMPT Fellowship initial cohort.

Whitney has competed in the CrossFit Games, is a 6x Regionals competitor, participated in the NPGL Combine, and is the Texas State Champion for the 63 kg weight class in the snatch, clean and jerk, and the total. She has also competed and placed in the top 10 at USAW Nationals and American Open.

Whit has a passion for learning, mastery, and play.  This passion is part of her continual involvement in academia, mentoring physical therapy doctoral candidates, mentoring physical therapy Orthopedic residents, and mentoring physical therapy Sports residents.  This is also part of her presence in formal academia and clinical mentoring.

Outside of clinical practice, teaching and coaching, Whit enjoys hiking with her Partner and their dogs and is constantly outside in her garden.
