As a school-based occupational therapist, I am part of the special education team. My role can include helping students build new skills and helping staff implement new accommodations and modifications for students to support sensory needs, school-based self-care and organizational skills, fine and visual motor skills, and pre-vocational skills. I have been an occupational therapist since 2016 and earned my master's and clinical doctorate degrees in occupational therapy from the University of Southern California. I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and also lived in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles before ending up in Seattle. When I'm not working, I love traveling, rooting for Bay Area sports teams (go Warriors!), spending as much time as I can outside in or near the water, and hogging other people's dogs while making pros and cons lists about whether or not it's finally time to get my own.
