What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a supportive school-based role where I can run comprehensive OT assessments, develop measurable goals, and collaborate with teachers and parents to improve fine/visual motor skills and student independence through targeted, engaging therapy.

I’m a dedicated and compassionate school occupational therapist with 10 years of experience providing therapy services to students with diverse diagnoses, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and various genetic conditions. I manage a diverse caseload of over 50 students and focus on comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that enhance fine and visual motor skills.

I’m a proven collaborator who communicates student progress through IEP meetings, partnering closely with teachers and parents to support measurable growth. From implementing therapeutic exercises to completing daily Medicaid billing/documentation and delivering teletherapy services during the Covid pandemic, I bring organized, goal-driven, and student-centered care to every setting.
