Summary
Currently, I am in my last semester of college, before I graduate and go to Doctorate school for Occupational Therapy. In my free time, I like to work, volunteer, nanny, and help coach cheerleading at my old high school. My future career goal is to be a Pediatric Occupational Therapist because I enjoy working with children, but ultimately want to make a difference in their and their families’ lives.
