As a pediatric occupational therapist I have been providing treatment for a variety of conditions and in a multitude of settings. I have been independently managing scheduling with families and coordinating care within a multidisciplinary team. I have developed the ability to provide high quality therapy across multiple care settings including home environments, outpatient clinics, daycare's, schools and tele-health. This has helped me to be creative and inventive with resources for providing the best possible care. Show less

The Go Baby Go program provides adaptation to power wheel cars so children with disabilities can use them safely. I was responsible for maintaining our equipment, identifying adaptation needs, and electrically modifying cars.

Children's Assistive Technology Service Student Coordinator
-
Aug 2018 - Jun 2019
I helped to bring the Children's Assistive Technology service to Emory and Henry School of Health Sciences to provide AT equipment for southwest Virginia. The CATS program collects used assistive technology, refurbishes it, and then provides it free of charge to families who have limited access to these items. Southwest Virginia is one of the most under served regions in the state. Our goal was to establish the School of Health sciences as a hub for the CATS program to reach out to the families of this region. Emory and Henry School of Health Sciences is now partnered with the CATS program to begin increasing the reach of the program and helping children get the resources that they need. Show less
