Growing up in a military family, Rylie always felt drawn to help people, especially veterans. She first pursued a degree in biomechanics and engineering before choosing to become a certified orthotist in Rapid City, South Dakota. Rylie likes that she can give her patients a little bit of their independence back each time she sees them. A unique part of her day is working with physical therapists and occupational therapists in their combination clinic where everyone comes together to help patients live their best lives.
