Summary

As an aspiring occupational therapist, I bring extensive experience in supporting diverse populations through holistic, client-centered approaches to health and wellbeing. Through my work with historically disadvantaged communities, I've developed a deep understanding of how cultural, social, and environmental factors influence individuals' ability to engage in meaningful activities. My background combines direct patient care experience with program development skills, allowing me to address both individual needs and systemic barriers to health equity. I am particularly passionate about using evidence-based practices while maintaining cultural humility to support clients in achieving their personal goals and enhancing their quality of life.
