Madison Jimenez MA ’23

What brought you to occupational therapy?
My big brother, who received OT services growing up, and my ever-growing desire to help people!

What area of practice are you interested in?
I am interested in a neuro-rehab setting for adults, the nervous system excites me! Both of my grandparents worked at Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center, and it is my dream to continue their legacies!

What are some of the occupations you engage in?
Some of my favorite occupations are paddleboarding, roller-skating with my mom, practicing yoga, and playing with my 3 Boston Terriers.

If you could travel anywhere, where would it be?
The Mykonos islands of Greece!

If you were famous, what would you be famous for?
My buddha bowls! I would argue that they could make anyone go vegan!
