About me:

I am an acute care occupational therapist at Michigan Medicine, where I currently work with various adult populations including neuro, ortho, general medicine, and ICU patients. I graduated from Pacific University with a Doctorate of Occupational Therapy and a Masters of Healthcare Administration. After being away for about 7 years - in Minneapolis, MN and Portland, OR - I moved back to Michigan to finish my degrees and begin my career.  Staying active - physically and mentally - is an important part of my own occupational balance. The images used on these pages represent some of my favorite activities and occupations.

Mission Statement:

My mission in life is to aid and empower others in striving for the highest quality of life possible. As an Occupational Therapist, I encourage and advocate for those I serve. In order to provide the highest level of service, support, and information, I pledge to remain a lifelong student and to feed my own curiosities and personal drive to solve problems and make things better for those around me.

American Occupational Therapy Association

"In its simplest terms, occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants help people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). Common occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes.
