What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a career shift that values a flexible schedule and work-life balance, while I apply my occupational therapy strengths and keep learning new skills with a supportive team.

I’m a motivated occupational therapist focused on practical, patient-centered care—evaluating and creating plans of care, delivering therapeutic interventions, and collaborating closely with interdisciplinary teams. In acute care, I supported adults across orthopedic, oncology, ICU, and general medicine units, attending interdisciplinary rounds and contributing to discharge planning as part of the patient-status updates.

As a Lead Therapist, I also managed scheduling and departmental needs of the rehabilitation team, balancing clinical priorities with operational requirements. My pediatric work includes evaluating, creating plans of care, and treating children ages 1–21 with diagnoses such as autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and developmental delay, and my graduate research explored trauma and sensory processing in relation to occupational therapy for youth behavior in juvenile corrections.
