Name: Mary Dawkins – Physical Therapist
If you could write your own job title/description that best describes what you do, what would it be? I am a physical therapist whose job is to assess a person’s injury or condition and help determine a treatment plan that will get them back to doing what they love. And I’m lucky, because that means I get to know the person too.

Cats or Dogs? Look, if you have fur, I’m going to love you. But when it comes down to it – dogs.
