What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to make a meaningful impact on children's lives, with opportunities for professional growth and collaboration in a supportive environment.

I am a passionate pediatric occupational therapist with extensive experience in evaluating and treating children with various physical and cognitive disabilities. My journey in this field began with a strong academic foundation, earning a Master of Occupational Therapy from Quinnipiac University, where I graduated with a 4.0 GPA. I have honed my skills through diverse clinical experiences, including outpatient therapy and early intervention, where I focus on creating tailored interventions that meet the unique needs of each child.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated proficiency in various assessment tools and documentation systems, such as BOT-2, Sensory Profiles, and ClinicSource. My work at Play By Day Pediatric Therapy Services and Progressive Steps LLC has allowed me to collaborate with families and multidisciplinary teams to support children's development in their natural environments. I am committed to fostering a nurturing and engaging atmosphere that empowers children to achieve their goals and enhances their quality of life.
