Assistive Technology Specialist, Occupational Therapist, Registered and Licensed, CA

Growing up, I loved crafting with mediums such as clay, upcycled materials, and 3D printing. While earning my Bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science, I found that I wanted to find a career where I could combine applied brain science with my love for art and play. Teaching swim lessons, working at an art therapy-based day program with adults with developmental disabilities, and peer mentoring in an inclusive college program with transition-age youth with intellectual disabilities shaped my practice today. I found that adapting environments, tasks, and activities to maximize independence is the ultimate creative endeavor. I use this creativity daily in my OT practice, keeping interventions playful, inclusion-focused, and client-driven.

While I pursued my Doctor of Occupational Therapy degree from Boston University, I completed my doctoral residency in Assistive Technology. Technology can be an incredibly powerful tool that I love to explore, hone, and share with teams. Throughout my career, I have enjoyed presenting at state and national conferences, engaging in research, and mentoring other therapists. I have been thrilled to be a member of the wonderful GHS team and currently work with students in public and nonpublic elementary, middle, and high schools as well as local transition programs.
