Why did you become a therapist? I always knew I wanted to have a career in a helping profession. I decided to become an occupational therapist because Iove the idea of helping others return not only to what they need to do but also to what brings them joy.
What are your interests outside of work? Outside of work, I enjoy reading, baking, going for walks, and spending time with my husband and son.
Do you have any pets? Yes! I have a 3 year old long coat dalmatian named Cruella.
