My journey in healthcare began August 2002, when I discovered Occupational Therapy on a “career assessment’ that indicated OT as my #1 career. 17 years later, I am happy to say that was a valid “assessment”.

 

Since then, I received my masters in OT and certifications in Lymphedema and Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching. Throughout my work experiences, I learned responsibilities within the roles of Rehabilitation Aide, Lab Assistant, Advanced Clinician, and Supervisor and has specialized in the adult neurological and oncological population, in acute care and outpatient hospital settings, and private home settings with a focus on physical, cognitive and oncological rehabilitation.
