Mikaela

Mikaela was born and raised in Minnesota alongside her parents and siblings. After graduating high school, she moved to Arizona, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Arizona State University in 2021. She quickly fell in love with the sunshine and lifestyle Arizona offers and chose to remain in the state to pursue her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at A.T. Still University, graduating in 2025.

Mikaela completed two of her three final clinical rotations at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, which helped solidify her passion for pediatrics. She has experience working with children across a variety of ages and diagnoses and enjoys helping them build strength, mobility, and independence in a fun and supportive environment. Her favorite part of being a physical therapist is building meaningful relationships with her patients and their families and celebrating progress—both big and small—along the way.

Outside of work, Mikaela enjoys indoor cycling, running, spending time with friends, and making memories with her partner and their pets.
