Madison Mcintosh

I am a motivated and dedicated Occupational Therapy student with experience in therapeutic interventions, patient assessment, and treatment planning. I work effectively both independently and as part of multidisciplinary teams, always maintaining a patient-centered approach. I bring strong communication skills and a commitment to lifelong learning within the field of occupational therapy. My professional experiences reflect compassion, clinical reasoning, and the practical application of theory to enhance patients’ quality of life.

• Throughout high school, I was a part of a class called "peer connections," which gave me the opportunity to volunteer at a public school that serves youth with developmental disabilities. I had the amazing opportunity to work and interact with the children by supporting physical and occupational therapists in a pool. It was a very meaningful opportunity to observe and learn from the therapists while volunteering to support children during aquatic therapy.

• My senior year of my undergraduate program, I took an exercise science class that gave me the ability to go out and volunteer in the community. I co-led an exercise class for older adults in the community every Tuesday, gaining valuable leadership skills and community engagement.
