Since earning her doctorate, Miranda has worked across a broad spectrum of fields, including sports rehabilitation, orthopedic care, pain management, and post-surgical recovery. 

As a “retired” athlete, she understands firsthand how frustrating it can be to be sidelined by an injury or pain, preventing one from doing the things they love. Whether it’s playing a sport, staying active, or simply enjoying everyday activities, she recognizes how much it can impact a person’s quality of life. Her goal is to help patients return to what matters most to them, whether that means getting back to their favorite sport or simply moving freely and pain-free in their daily routine.

Outside of her professional work, Miranda is passionate about long-distance running, playing pick-up basketball, enjoying pickleball, golfing, and spending time with her two orange kitties.
