Hobbies and Interests

I am a hard-working, fast-learner, out-going person, who enjoys working with a team of people. Learning about different professions and how the allied team can work together to achieve the client’s goals is something I constantly work on. I feel there are always facets of Occupational Therapy that I can learn from – given that I am in the early stages in my career.
