Additional Information
I have experience in variety of OT settings and I am eager to learn more about my chosen career to become even more knowledgeable in my skills. I am good at multi tasking and very punctual with each task I take on. If I do not know how to accomplish a goal I am not afraid to ask to be able to learn how to be more functional and effective. I am general quite and keep to myself, however I love one on one with each of my patients to share what I know to help them in their day to day life.
