From an early age I learned that I enjoyed helping others. In high school through working with children who had been diagnosed with ADHD, I learned that I found satisfaction in improving their lives, even if it was just by putting a smile on their face. In college I found that occupational therapy was a great career to pursue my passion. Later through the occupational therapy world I had the privilege of working with children who had been diagnosed with sensory processing disorders. After leading a summer occupational therapy camp as camp director I found that I wanted to pursue my passion for helping others in a hospital setting. I joined Children's Hospital and worked as a mental health specialist. I enjoy working with kids and young adults; however, I am not against working with adults. I am also looking to gain experience with other diagnoses and am willing to learn!
