Bio
Phillip Hakey, MPA, HDFP
I have known Kirsten for many years. She is dedicated, caring and attentive professional who always seeks to put the needs of those in her care first and to go the extra mile in trying to resolve any issues or concerns they and her peers may have. She is tenacious and hard working. She is open to guidance and instruction, and always seeks self-improvement in everything she does. She will be a loyal and compassionate caregiver in the role of an Occupational Therapy Assistant (OA). Her bi-lingual abilities and cross-cultural experiences provides her a unique ability to understand and adapt to cultural challenges. Her experience and patience in dealing with children who are facing emotional, mental and physical difficulties is a definite asset to providing quality OA care. Her experience and ability to work under the direction and guidance inherent in being a teacher's assistant also provides her with the skills necessary to be a valued team player in the OA work environment supporting the Occupational Therapist. She knows what it is like to deal with people facing difficult situations and that makes her very compassionate, yet she does not shy away from taking the necessary actions to provide the care and attention needed. She has my highest recommendation for an OA position! ~Phillip Hakey
