Summary
It was an honor to provide pediatric occupational therapy service, to a diverse population of families and children in Maui, Hawaii. Living and working throughout the Hawaiian islands gave me a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and family involvement. I love assisting and celebrating with children and their families as they progress on their journey.
I am a NBCOT-licensed Occupational Therapist. Comfortable caring for individuals of varying ages. Excellent communicator with good organizational, problem-solving and conflict resolution skills.
