A common theme throughout my life is my natural inclination to be helpful to my community, friends, and family. I have found a sense of fulfillment knowing my gifts are being shared with the world. Through my jobs of restaurant and hospitality, dental assisting, and direct client therapy. I have encountered people of various moods, disorders, emotional states, and food dissatisfaction that have all taught me the important role of humility and respect for anyone I encounter. As I look ahead, I realize that my past and current jobs have challenged me to grow and has led me to journey of occupational therapy. This field is where I believe my skillset will be most utilized and where my passion continues to flow. To be able to help people in trying times such as rehabilitation will be an honor.
