She is currently pursuing a Master’s of Science in Health Professions with the ultimate hope of acquiring a Doctorate of Physical Therapy in the years ahead.

Some of Chelsea’s hobbies are running (a lot), reading, working out, hiking, and spending time with her family, friends, and her fur baby, Leonidis. Interesting facts about her are that she is the Worship Director at her church and has had the opportunity to organize a 5K benefit run for a co-worker’s non-profit organization that raised around $2,500.

Linsey grew up in a small town in Southeast Kansas and went to a small high school where she played volleyball, basketball & softball. Her sophomore year of high school she tore her ACL in a basketball game, which required many months of PT. At the end of her rehab her surgical knee was stronger than her good knee. That was the moment she knew she wanted a career in Physical Therapy.

Linsey enjoys many outdoor activities and just recently started playing golf, which I love but is much harder than I expected. I hope to continue to get my bachelor’s degree eventually and looking forward to learning new specialties in the physical therapy field.
