I am a graduate of East Carolina University with a B.S. in Sociology with a concentration in Marriage and Family in 2008 and then went on to complete an A.A.S. in Occupational Therapy in 2010 from Pitt Community College. I completed my Master's in Healthcare Administration in 2019 from Louisiana State University Shreveport. I am currently a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant working in the pediatric setting with a desire to help students achieve their learning goals through engaging learning opportunities and obtain their highest learning goals. As a part of my continued growth and desire to pour into the field of OT, I became a Fieldwork Educator in 2020 just as the pandemic began and quickly had to learn how to get creative not only in providing therapeutic services to clients but also in teaching others how to provide therapeutic services in a non-traditional way (Telehealth). Because of that experience, I have learned how to organize and create projects with well-coordinated and performance-driven strategies while continuing with excellent relationship-building and planning abilities. I am a Certified Allied Health Instructor and an adjunct teacher at a community college in the OTA program, supporting and facilitating learning with current OTA students in the classroom setting.
