As a Therapy Technician at the Pediatric Movement Center, I gain hands-on experience implementing therapeutic strategies, collaborating with children and therapists, and building leadership, observation, and communication skills. These experiences have solidified my commitment to making a meaningful impact in children's lives through healthcare and therapy.
