What brought you to occupational therapy?
As an undergraduate student at USC, I was constantly exposed to occupational science and occupational therapy due to my minor in occupation science. After taking Kate Crowley’s Intro to OT course, I was sold and realized that I wanted to pursue OT as a career. I have not looked back since.

What area of practice are you interested in?
I’m open to any area of practice within occupational therapy, but at the moment I’m interested in hand therapy.

What are some of the occupations you engage in?
Some of my favorite occupations include yoga, going to live music concerts, discovering new coffee shops and restaurants, and travel.

If your childhood had a smell, what would it be?
My childhood smell would be rose-scented shampoo.

What are some small things that make your day better?
Discovering new music, a nice cup of coffee, and positive interactions with strangers.
