My true passion has always been working with kids, specifically children that have special needs. My passion led me to go to grad school and become a recently certified occupational therapist. I got my masters in occupational therapy and graduated this past December 2019. I have experience working with children with the diagnosis of: cerebral palsy, autism, ADHD, fetal alcohol syndrome, behavioral disorders, chromosomal syndromes, and down syndrome in a therapy setting in the school system and outpatient pediatrics, as while as as a nanny/aid. All children deserve to live their best quality of life and as an occupational therapist I focus on exactly that. Whether it be toileting, dressing, feeding, riding a bike, or playing a sport, I would love to help your family!
