Following graduation, Lori worked as a staff therapist at an outpatient orthopedic clinic and was later promoted to Clinic Director.

Rachel was born and raised in Washington and takes full advantage of all the beautiful hiking, camping, swimming, and snowboarding this beautiful state has to offer. She has always loved building relationships and studying the fascinating human body which lead her to the rewarding field of Physical Therapy. Rachel completed her Bachelor of Science in Clinical Physiology at Central Washington University and then went on to earn her Physical Therapist Assistant degree from PMI. Rachel enthusiastically accepted a position at Dupont Physical Therapy in July of 2016 and is eager to work with the amazing DPT team to meet the needs of the community.
