Personal Highlights:
Me and my partner, Ben, enjoy hiking and backpacking in the Blue Ridge Mountains and around the US. When I’m not outdoors, I enjoy reading a good horror book and snuggling with my three cats, Lincoln, Cali and Pixel.
Professional Highlights:
I specialize in adult rehabilitation and have worked in many of the inpatient and outpatient adult settings. I also worked in travel therapy for several years and got to see the US! I lead the Global Experiential Learning trips for the division of OT, and have really grown to appreciate the global perspective of occupational therapy and how people around the world engage in valued occupations. So far, I have been on GEL trips to Ecuador, Nicaragua, Rhode Island, and Idaho.
