My Story
Growing up I had a lot of opportunities working with children and young adults through community events/outreach and realized I had a passion for helping others. In undergrad, I enrolled in a health professions seminar where I got the opportunity to learn about various health professions and observe them in action. I immediately fell in love with the occupational therapy profession and how holistic of a field it is. I knew that this is what I was meant to do. I love being able to use evidence-based research and find creative ways to help my clients reach their full potential and improve their overall quality of life. I am excited to be a part of the Eyas Landing team and help my clients meet their goals!
My Professional Goals
- To further my education through advanced certifications (Sensory Integration, etc.) to assist my clients and their families in reaching their goals.
- To assist other individuals pursuing a degree in occupational therapy through observation, mentorship, and Fieldwork supervision.
