Tina Sehremelis MA ’15

What brought you to occupational therapy?
I was always interested in going into the medical profession; however, it was a family friend who introduced me to occupational therapy. After she described to me everything she did as an OT, I knew that this career matched up with my professional aspirations.

What area of practice are you interested in?
Pediatrics, specifically interested in working in the NICU.

What are some of the occupations you engage in?
I enjoy playing tennis, hiking, going to the beach, and running.

If we opened your fridge, what would we see?
My fridge would be filled with Chobani yogurts because I am obsessed with that brand of Greek yogurts. My roommates laugh at me because my fridge is currently overflowing with Chobani yogurts.

What are two truths and a lie about yourself?
I am 100% Greek. I have never had braces. I am the oldest of six children.
