Eileen graduated from Loma Linda University in 1985 knowing she had a deep desire to specialize in the field of hand therapy. She started her career at the Santa Anita Hand Center, and five years later successfully passed the 1991 inaugural credentialing exam and became a Certified Hand Therapist. Prior to joining Hand Rehabilitation Specialists in 2000, Eileen also worked in Los Angeles’ San Gabriel Valley at Interstate Rehabilitation, Inc. and at Pacific West Hand Center, both outpatient private hand centers. She is now responsible for managing HRS’s Simi Valley Office. She is known for her intuitive expertise in the evaluation and treatment of patients with chronic pain and cumulative trauma disorders, designing creative functional activities and successfully producing outcomes for patients where treatment has failed in the past. Eileen spent three years serving on the board of the Hand Therapy Society of Greater Los Angeles as both vice-president and president providing opportunities for high-quality continuing education to So Cal therapists. Education is something that she values highly, and she is committed and excited when overseeing field work for students. Another passion of hers is photography, particularly of newborns. Eileen lives with her husband and 4 children in Simi Valley.
