I enjoy spending time with loved ones, reading, being outdoors, crafting, and traveling. I am passionate about helping people return to activities that bring meaning and purpose to their lives. I was drawn to occupational therapy because it blends compassion, creativity, and problem-solving, and it allows me to collaborate with individuals of all ages as they navigate challenges, build confidence, and reclaim the routines that matter most. I value occupational therapy's holistic approach and the opportunity to empower people to rediscover independence, engage fully in their communities, and life life with joy, dignity, and fulfillment.
