(MSOT, OTR/L )
I earned my B.S. in Exercise Science in 2024 before completing my Master’s of Occupational Science and Therapy at Grand Valley State University in August 2026. Throughout college, I worked as a CLS caregiver supporting both children and adults with autism. I also completed a student internship at Flourishing Lives in the summer of 2022, where I discovered my passion for working with children and helping them build confidence, develop new skills, and reach their fullest potential.
My favorite part about being an Occupational Therapist is building meaningful therapeutic relationships with my clients and their families. I strive to create individualized, functional goals that support participation and success across all areas of daily life. I believe therapy should be engaging, purposeful, and fun, which is why I incorporate creative, client-centered interventions that make learning new skills both meaningful and enjoyable.
Celebrating the big and small victories with my clients is one of the most rewarding parts of my career and continues to fuel my passion for occupational therapy. And, of course, getting to play all day is an added bonus! When I am not in the clinic, I enjoy reading, watching sports, spending time with friends and family, and traveling!
