Summary
Caring occupational therapist with extensive experience in the educational setting. Hard working, flexible, team player dedicated to supporting students and the special services team. My philosophy is the relationship is the foundation of all therapy and everything else flows from there. I enjoy working with children and finding out what makes them tick. I pride myself on meeting them exactly where they are and helping them to develop their skills, build confidence, and grow.
