Occupational therapist with clinical experience in diverse adult populations and settings including acute care hospital, outpatient UE clinic, long term acute care/inpatient rehab, short term rehab, acute inpatient geriatric psychiatry, and home care – notable experience with complex cardiac and pulmonary clients. Clinical focus on working with clients to maximize their independence and safety performing occupations that improve their overall well being throughout life stages, particularly with older adults.
After many years as a fieldwork educator, I am excited to bring my love of OT to students in the academic setting. Hands on learning and experiential learning is my preferred mechanism for teaching. Student engagement is valuable to me. I know OT students found their way to this program because of their interest in the field, and I value the varied skills and backgrounds our students bring! The next group of OT practitioners coming out of Worcester State will truly make the lives of their patients better.
