My passion for healthcare and helping others has guided me toward a career as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, where I hope to create positive, supportive experiences for children and their families. I value clear communication, empathy, and hands-on care. I’m especially interested in combining my love for animals with therapy through hippotherapy or occupational therapy in rodeo and equine-assisted settings.
