Bailey Pagano

Motivated Occupational Therapist with clinical expertise and compassion for improving patient's lives. With a solid foundation in evidence-based practices and a commitment to patient-centered care, I am eager to contribute to a dynamic healthcare team.

• Internship: YMCA First Friendships Preschool. Worked as a childcare provider with children aged 2-5 years old in the program. Collaborated closely with my supervisor on various projects around the preschool to create a safe and stimulating environment for the children. Conducted tutoring sessions, facilitated arts and crafts activities, and organized interactive games to engage and enrich the children's experience. Monitored and assessed the children's progress, adjusting my approach to suit their needs and interests, and providing additional support to children who required special attention. Through my dedication, I fostered a positive and inclusive learning environment where children were encouraged to learn, grow, and explore.
• Volunteer: Kids Institute for Developmental Advancement (KIDA). Observed and participated in shadow sessions with Occupational Therapists, providing assistance as needed to ensure the safety and comfort of the clients. Prepared and set up Food School items for Occupational Therapists to use during therapy sessions, ensuring that all equipment was clean, organized, and readily available. Maintained a clean and sanitized Occupational Therapy gym and Fine Motor rooms, ensuring that all equipment and surfaces were thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each use. Assisted with administrative tasks as needed, including scheduling appointments, updating client files, and communicating with clients and their families to ensure a seamless therapy experience. Through my efforts, I contributed to the efficient and effective delivery of Occupational Therapy services, helping clients to achieve their therapy goals.
