What brought you to occupational therapy?
I was always interested in the medical profession and I knew that I wanted a job that would make a difference in people’s lives. I was mostly attracted to occupational therapy because of the holistic approach that is taken when working with clients.

I am interested in pediatrics and physical disabilities.

What are some of the occupations you engage in?
I enjoy traveling, baking, and running.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
An intuitive aptitude! This would allow me to learn and understand complex systems without special education or training.

What are two truths and a lie about yourself?
I have a black belt. I have donated my hair twice. I have a cat.
