Evin grew up here in Seattle, Washington where she enjoyed the beautiful mountains and bodies of water at her fingertips. She first developed an appreciation and awareness for the human body as a dancer at All That Dance. She advanced from creative ballet at age 3 to performing for the studio’s Company and working as an assistant teacher and honor club member while a senior in high school. Evin’s other main passion growing up was playing recreational and club soccer with Seattle United. Additional sports she enjoys include skiing, tennis, running and swimming. She attended Roosevelt High school before heading off to Colorado State University (CSU) where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Exercise Science with a concentration in Health Promotion. CSU offered Evin the opportunity to get involved in multiple internships in the health promotion field which were instrumental in her decision to pursue physical therapy. One semester, she worked with CSU Football’s Athletic Training department where she observed players healing in a high-performance athletic setting and observed the intensity and demands of college football practices and games up close.

Her final internship was back home in Seattle where she was first introduced to Lake Washington Physical Therapy (LWPT) with Dr. Joe Nance at the Kenmore clinic. After completing her internship, she stayed at LWPT Kenmore and continued to work as a physical therapy aide for a year before starting her Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Pacific University in Hillsboro, Oregon. During this program, Evin appreciated learning more about physical conditioning and started to enjoy running and swimming to manage stress and stay active. In 2021 she entered her first sprint triathlon (Seafair Triathlon) and went on to compete in the Hagg Lake Triathlon the following year. She has also raced in multiple 5Ks, one 10K, and the Portland Half Marathon. Throughout her time at Pacific University, Evin worked at Super Jock N’ Jill in Seattle and Portland Running Company in Portland, OR as a sales associate. This experience expanded her knowledge about running shoes and her ability to perform gait analyses for both runners and walkers. She is passionate about helping people perform their daily activities without pain by maximizing their coordination, strength, and balance, and ensuring that they have proper fitting gear to facilitate these goals.

Evin has undergone clinical rotations in several settings from acute care in Medford, Oregon to pediatrics inpatient and outpatient in South Bend, Indiana. Evin has always loved outpatient orthopedics and helping all who walk through the door! She is grateful to have worked with wonderful mentors such as Boones Landing Physical Therapy in Wilsonville, Oregon, Aaron Jeong at Lake Washington Physical Therapy in West Seattle, and at Therapydia in Ballard for her final rotation. Evin is happy to be back in Seattle Washington where she enjoys spending time in the great outdoors and can’t wait to meet you in the clinic!
