I chose the field of Occupational Therapy to help make a difference in people's lives. Growing up with a grandparent who only had one arm taught me from a very young age that with determination, creativity and hard work, anything was possible. To this day I strive to help others reach their potential after injury, surgery or diagnosis of upper extremity ailments. I love the one-on-one interaction, getting to know the goals of my clients, and developing treatment plans to increase independence and quality of life.
