Brianna Sandoval OTD ’25

What brought you to occupational therapy?
The fact that the people I will be working with in the future is a vast and diverse population. It’s as if I can help literally anyone and everyone.

What area of practice are you interested in?
Pediatrics.

What are some of the occupations you engage in?
One of my favorite occupations I engage in is taking my dog on walks.

If you could be immortal, what age would you choose to stop aging at and why?
27, car insurance isn’t as expensive and I’m still considered “in my 20s” but technically not 30 yet.

If you could travel anywhere, where would it be?
Ireland.
