What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an occupational therapy position in the Western New York area. I want to contribute to a successful organization through comprehensive, client-centered care, adapting quickly to new treatment information while leading, collaborating, and training others.

I’m a Licensed Occupational Therapist certified in New York State, with a career grounded in comprehensive, client-centered practices. I bring strong documentation and care-coordination skills—covering evaluations, treatments, daily/weekly progress notes, discharge planning, and billing—while staying adaptive and accurate under pressure.

My work spans pediatric and geriatric settings, including in-school and home-based therapy aligned to IEPs, as well as long-term care and rehab focused on ADL participation, UE strengthening, therapeutic activities, joint protection, and home safety. I also supervise COTAs, cosign as needed, lead team conference meetings, and build individualized home exercise programs—helping clients improve fine motor skills, sensory integration, visual-motor/perceptual abilities, and functional independence.
