Maleah is an ABC-certified prosthetist and orthotist for Hanger Clinic in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area.
Maleah specializes in pediatric orthotics for a variety of neuromuscular and orthopedic diagnoses including cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, autism, muscular dystrophy; cranial remolding for infants with plagiocephaly; and upper and lower extremity prosthetics.
Maleah is passionate and committed to providing high-quality patient-centered care. She enjoys being able to use her knowledge and experience in the field to work with patients and their families to help them reach their mobility goals. She finds it both motivating and exciting to see patients overcome barriers and reach their highest potential. Working with pediatric patients is unique in that it allows her to learn and grow with each patient throughout their developmental years and into adulthood. During the summer, Maleah volunteers with Camp No Limits (IL Camp), a foundation dedicated to educating, empowering, and supporting individuals and families with limb loss and limb difference.
Outside of work, Maleah enjoys spending time with family and friends and playing fetch with her mini-Goldendoodle, Auggie.
