What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a pediatric-focused occupational therapy role within a collaborative, supportive team where I can apply creative treatment plans, continue professional development, and positively impact children's daily function and independence.

I am a licensed occupational therapist focused on pediatric care and school-based practice, dedicated to improving children's function and independence.

Since becoming certified in 2021, I have worked with diverse diagnoses at a public school, using consistent, organized methods and collaborating with educators and families to meet individualized goals.

My academic background includes a Master of Occupational Therapy and membership in an occupational therapy honor society; competitive collegiate athletics strengthened my teamwork, leadership, and resilience.

I bring experience coaching athletes, developing group programs, supervising youth, and supporting administrative and social media projects—skills I apply to creative, patient-centered interventions.
