A Bit About Me

I am a compassionate and motivated future occupational therapist dedicated to helping individuals live meaningful, independent lives. My journey through healthcare—including work as a Certified Nursing Assistant and Senior Certified Pharmacy Technician—has strengthened my commitment to client-centered care. Guided by empathy, creativity, and a desire to make a difference, I strive to empower others to overcome challenges and rediscover purpose in their daily occupations.

I observed firsthand how therapists help patients regain independence through personalized treatment plans and adaptive techniques. I gained valuable insight into how OT professionals assess patients’ physical, cognitive, and emotional needs while fostering motivation and confidence throughout the rehabilitation process. My responsibilities included assisting with therapy setup, observing patient sessions, and maintaining a clean, organized environment. This experience strengthened my understanding of patient-centered care and deepened my passion for helping others improve their quality of life through meaningful therapeutic interventions.

Assisted in preparing and serving meals to individuals experiencing homelessness while offering conversation and support. Developed strong communication and interpersonal skills by engaging with diverse populations and promoting dignity, compassion, and community connection.
