What brought you to occupational therapy?
I was initially brought to occupational therapy because of a pediatric occupational therapist I had the opportunity to shadow when I was in high school!

What area of practice are you interested in?
I am currently interested in working in pediatrics and adaptive equipment, but I am open to changing my mind.

What are some of the occupations you engage in?
My favorite occupations are traveling, hiking, exploring thrift stores, and trying new coffee shops.

If you could travel anywhere, where would it be?
If I could travel anywhere right now, I would go to the Almafi Coast.

You have your own late night talk show, who do you invite as your first guest?
If I had my own late night talk show, I would invite John Mulaney as my first guest.
