Irene Lee MA ’22

What brought you to occupational therapy?
When I was unsure of what I wanted to do during freshman year of college at USC, I met an OT student who told me about the holistic approach of OT. I then added the Occupational Science minor to learn more about OT and absolutely fell in love with the field by learning from passionate OT professors and through a diverse array of courses offered within the program.

What area of practice are you interested in?
I’m interested in Lifestyle Redesign.

What are some of the occupations you engage in?
I love going on long walks in the neighborhood while the sun sets and I enjoy cooking and baking!

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

If you were famous, what would you be famous for?
Giving warm hugs.
