Trisha Willie MA ’23

What brought you to Occupational Therapy?
I first heard about occupational therapy in high school from my teacher whose sons had developmental disabilities and benefitted from OT services. I’ve been learning more about and loving occupational therapy ever since.

What are some of the occupations you engage in?
I love dancing, trying new restaurants and cafes with friends, spending time with my parents, and listening to music!

Tell us about your favorite memory from the program so far.
When I was a freshman, I explored DTLA with some of my BS-MA classmates which was a fun bonding experience!

If you could travel anywhere, where would it be?
I would love to take a trip across Asia and see as many countries as I can!

If you were famous, what would you be famous for?
Probably on accident, as an awkward meme or reaction photo!
