Joyce Ho MA ’19

What brought you to occupational therapy?
I found out about occupational therapy as an undergraduate student at USC when I met some students who were in the OT master’s program. It was always fun to hear about how they were doing crafts and making assistive devices in class! Previously a pre-PA student, I eventually realized through an intro class and volunteering that OT was a great integration of my interests in science, health, problem-solving, creativity, and helping people in a direct way.

What area of practice are you interested in?
Physical Rehabilitation.

What are some of the occupations you engage in?
Some of the occupations that I love to engage in are hiking, baking, and playing music. I am also a bit of a film fanatic!

If we opened your fridge, what would we see?
Milk, apples, and pickles.

If you could travel anywhere, where would it be?
Israel, to see where Jesus walked.
