I am a registered and licensed occupational therapist. I was born and raised in Illinois. I earned my bachelor’s degree in exercise science at Elmhurst University. Then, I went on to receive my degree in occupational therapy from Midwestern University in Illinois. I have experience in various settings such as schools, acute care, and foster care. I love being an occupational therapist because it allows me to be creative and help individuals gain independence. I also enjoy collaborating with caregivers and my team to facilitate growth for the individuals I work with. In my free time, I enjoy calling my family, hiking, and watching my favorite movies/tv shows!
