About Candidate

I’m a pediatric occupational therapist driven by a deep passion for helping children grow, thrive, and access the support they need to reach their fullest potential. My clinical work has shown me how meaningful even small breakthroughs can be, inspiring not only my therapeutic approach but also a growing commitment to research. Ultimately, I hope to contribute to a future where every child has access to the resources, understanding, and opportunities they deserve. Over my education and career I have developed strong skills in critical thinking, data analysis, organization, documentation/writing, and grant writing. I believe these skills will allow me to meaningfully contribute to research initiatives that advance pediatric practice and improve outcomes for children and their families.
