What I'm looking for
I am a skilled and compassionate Occupational Therapist with strong pediatric and school-based experience. My dedication lies in supporting the growth, independence, and well-being of children. I have demonstrated the ability to quickly adapt to new environments and caseloads across outpatient, home health, and educational settings. My collaborative approach and clinical insight have earned me high regard from supervisors and interdisciplinary teams.
Throughout my career, I have focused on empowering students with developmental, sensory, and functional challenges through individualized, evidence-based care that is both empathetic and goal-oriented. My experience includes delivering OT services to K-8 students, collaborating with IEP teams, and enhancing student engagement in academic and social activities. I am passionate about fostering nurturing environments that enhance students' confidence and learning.
