Summary
To start my career as an Occupational Therapist in a supportive team to build upon my current knowledge. To provide effective therapy that helps clients reach their goals. To continue to work as a team member but also as a self-directed individual who reports to a supervisor when required. I wish to follow my passion for helping those with Cerebral Palsy and other disabilities to achieve the goals that themselves and their families wish to achieve.
