Yarissa is from WhitePlains, New York. A newly current resident of North Carolina, Charlotte. Before making my big move down to Charlotte I found Ayrsley Town Rehab who was hiring for new candidates and I did not hesitate to apply, as I felt their requirements fell right under my work ethic and I knew this would be a great opportunity to expand my career and goals.
I can say I love this place, the doctors and the amazing patients. The Physical therapists here are always persistent in pushing their patients to strive and do better!
I love spending time with my fiance, family, and exploring.
