Meet the ASPIRE
LA CRESCENTA Team

Born and raised in Glendale, Jazel participated in dance, basketball, and softball from childhood until early adolescence. She graduated from the University of California, Riverside with a degree in Psychology. She went on to earn her Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree from the University of Southern California in 2024.

While completing the physical therapy program, she worked in various settings with a diverse patient population, from post-operative joint replacements to patients with neurological conditions and general orthopedic injuries.

Jazel enjoys the collaboration that comes with being a PT; this helps foster the most appropriate treatment plan to help patients reach their maximum level of functional mobility. She strives to give her patients the education and tools they need to be successful in their PT journey, which allows them to return to doing what they love.

During her free time, Jazel enjoys spending time with her family, cycling on her Peloton Bike, hiking, attending concerts, and most importantly rooting for the Dodgers… GO BLUE!
