Physical Therapist Assistant

Biography:

Viktoria Elke, PTA

LOCATION: SPT – Ferndale

I’m a Physical Therapist Assistant who followed a long-standing passion for people and health into the world of physical therapy, earning my degree from WCC in 2022. Before getting married and making the beautiful PNW home, I spent several years volunteering internationally. This experience expanded my perspective and love for cultures as well as strongly influenced the way I approach life and work. Professionally, I’ve gained experience in inpatient acute care, skilled nursing, as well as outpatient settings. I’m especially drawn to functional strength rehab and empowering patients through education so they feel confident and capable throughout and beyond their recovery. Community, family, and friends will always be of the highest priority in my life. I care deeply about building meaningful connections both inside and outside of work. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll usually find me staying active or diving into one of my many creative hobbies. On the side, I enjoy doing all sorts of portrait photography and exploring a range of artistic outlets that keep me inspired.
