Candace Ro

Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD)
Master of Occupational Therapy (MA)
Occupational Therapist, Registered and Licensed, CA

I graduated from the University of Southern California (USC) in 2023 with a Doctor of Occupational Therapy degree and in 2022 with a Master of Occupational Therapy degree. Prior to that, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Health and Human Sciences with a Minor in Occupational Science and Narrative Structure. Throughout my life, I have always had a passion for education, helping others, and
supporting families with a variety of needs.

As an occupational therapist, I have had the opportunity to help children and their families in the context of school based and pediatric-based therapy services. My experience has been working with kids K-12 in school-based OT, children in the foster care system, college students/emerging adults, graduate students in a pedagogical context, and students in an online setting.

Everyday I am grateful I get to be an occupational therapist and be an advocate for my kiddos. If I am your child’s OT, I look forward to supporting your family and being part of your child’s educational and therapeutic journey.
