I am an Occupational Therapy student at Sacred Heart University. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Public Health from Sacred Heart in 2024. I chose to study the profession of occupational therapy because I learned at a young age how important ones independence is. I have seen first hand how life-altering events can alter ones motivation and independence. Being able to help individuals regain their sense of self through activities and occupations that are meaningful to them aligns with my desire to help others. My accomplishments thus far stem from my hard work in academics which has earned me a capstone award.
