Heather Arnold - CFo, CPA

"My first introduction to Orthotics and Prosthetics was from my Grandpa Ron, who was a transradial amputee. Ron didn't let other's expectations define him as he went on to get his pilot's license so he could take his grandchildren for flights and even taught my mother to barrel race horses. My grandfather's outlook on life inspired me to help others not be defined by limitations, but rather defy them."

Heather received both her Bachelors and Masters of Science in Orthotics and Prosthetics from Concordia University Saint Paul. While completing school, she worked as a Certified Orthotic Fitter and Prosthetic Assistant in Southern Minnesota. Rebound welcomed Heather to our team in August of 2022.
