Jolly graduated from Loma Linda University with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2006. Prior to that, she attended the University of Houston for undergraduate education. She is a native Texan who left the Lone Star State to pursue her career in physical therapy. During her youth, Jolly pursued her passion for gymnastics with years of being a gymnast and later serving as a coach for gymnastics and cheerleading. It was then that she realized her interest in physical medicine. Jolly feels that to improve the quality of life for each patient, it is essential to identify the source of "making man/women whole" through the balance of mind, body and soul, a philosophy, which she adopted from her education at Loma Linda University.

Jolly has experience with orthopedics, maternity pain management, pediatrics as well as acute inpatient work. She has focused her career in orthopedics and is interested in expanding her knowledge in orthopedics, sports and dance medicine. She also utilizes a lot of yoga techniques in her practice.

Jolly enjoys running and training for marathons, yoga, dancing and traveling in her spare time.
