ABOUT ME

 
Before becoming an Occupational Therapist, I worked in building and construction for over 17 years. I took great pride in my work, and both my clients and I found deep satisfaction in a job well done.

However, I’ve always been fascinated by brain function, memory, and behavior, which led me to complete a psychology degree. As a creative problem solver, I wanted to find innovative and practical ways to help people, combining my skills and interests.

I chose to become an Occupational Therapist for two main reasons:

1. Practical Solutions: With my employment background, I knew I could offer practical solutions to the challenges faced by people living with disabilities.

2. Creative Innovation: My creative skills allow me to explore new and unique ways of enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities. For example, understanding how new assistive technologies and innovations can be used to help my clients with neurological and mental health conditions.

In the building and construction industry, the foundation of a structure is essential – it ensures stability, strength, and longevity. Similarly, in Occupational Therapy, a high-quality Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) forms the foundation for everything that follows. It is the key that unlocks a client’s possibilities and potential. I am deeply passionate about FCAs and find great fulfillment in writing detailed reports that lay the groundwork for meaningful outcomes, helping clients achieve their fullest potential.

My role as an OT is more than just a job – it’s a calling to make a positive difference in people’s lives. I start each day with a sense of gratitude and purpose, knowing that I’ve been given the opportunity to do something truly impactful. My family and friends describe me as determined, approachable, and genuine, traits that I bring to every client interaction.
