While completing her doctoral degree, Arianna worked on a research project focusing on mental
health levels in DPT students. She had the opportunity to present her research at OU Graduate
Research day and APTA MI fall conference.

Arianna has known she wanted to become a physical therapist since she was in 7^th grade. As a multisport athlete, Arianna suffered different injuries that affected her ability to
participate. Her physical therapist helped her recover physically and mentally, enabling her to return to sports.
That was her inspiration. She knew she wanted to help others get back to doing what they love and
improving patients’ overall quality of life. 

Arianna is passionate about manual therapy and
intends to continue her education to receive her Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMPT)
degree. Arianna’s main sport is tennis, and she has 8+ years of coaching experience for athletes of
all ages, beginning at 3 years old. She enjoys staying active with tennis, golf, pickleball, and, most importantly, being a dog mom.
