Therapist Biography
Laurel McQueen, MPT has worked as a physical therapist with the geriatric population since 2000. She received a master's degree in PT from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. She also has degrees from Hamline University (writing) and University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (English).
Laurel's career choice stems from her volunteer efforts, beginning in childhood when she tagged along on her mother's music performances at "the old folks' home," already recognizing her own appreciation for the company of elders. As an adult, she volunteered as a teacher for the U.S. Peace Corps in Mongolia, as a mentor to new immigrants for the American Refugee Committee, and as a musician and companion at Rhakma House for Alzheimers. From these efforts evolved her strength in working one-on-one, with a common goal.
Laurel loves traveling, and has been in Europe, Asia and Africa. She also loves coming home to her historic neighborhood in St. Paul.
