As an aspiring occupational therapist, my passion for this field extends beyond the classroom and into lived experience. Working across rehabilitation, nutrition, and community health settings has shown me that great care is about more than clinical skills. It is about truly understanding the person in front of you, where they come from, what they value, and what getting better actually means to them. I bring that awareness into every setting I work in, and it is what pushes me to grow, learn, and show up fully for the people I serve.
