Newport Beach Calif. Native Kirsten Bakke has joined the staff of Kitsap Physical Therapy and Sports medicine. She first became interested in physical therapy after getting hurt during a high school softball game and experiencing the profession as a patient. She liked the idea of helping people recover from their injuries, and began pursuing a career in sports medicine.
She was very active in fastpitch, volleyball, basketball, track, and orchestra during high school and continued playing fastpitch and running while at Pacific Lutheran University.
Bakke graduated from PLU with a B.S. Physical Education, pre-therapy concentration, and went on to graduate school at the University of Washington. While studying for her Doctorate of Physical Therapy, she became engaged to a classmate and now fellow Physical Therapist, Jarel Bakke. The pair were married this past August and now make their home in Poulsbo. |
