Rebecca Brito MA ’15

What brought you to occupational therapy?
I initially wanted to go into physical therapy but after doing some volunteering and observation I realized occupational therapy was a better fit and I enjoyed it more.

What area of practice are you interested in?
I’m interested in working with veterans or working with individuals with low vision.

Describe your background before coming to occupational therapy.
I’ve worked as an English language instructor and an ophthalmic technician and have my degree in human development.

What are some of the occupations you engage in?
I love to hike, take trips to the dog beach and bake!

If we opened your fridge, what would we see?
Nothing. My top ramen is in the cabinet.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
To freeze time! I would be able to get all my homework/studying done AND get a full 8 hours sleep!
