Annelise was born and raised in Colorado and completed her B.S. in Health and Exercise Science with a Concentration in Sports Medicine at Colorado State University as a part of the University Honors Program. She earned her DPT from Regis University in 2023 where she got to experience clinicals in a wide variety of areas including orthopedics, pediatric rehabilitation, neurologic rehabilitation, and inpatient rehabilitation. Ultimately, she decided to return to the clinic where she shadowed and began her physical therapy journey because of the exceptional patient care, supportive team, and close patient-clinician relationships.

As a Colorado native, she loves anything outdoors including hiking, going to lakes, going to Broncos games, line dancing, and playing pickleball.
