Why did I become a occupational therapist?

I became an Occupational Therapist because I needed a career that let me move, think creatively, and solve problems every day. I love that no two days in OT are ever the same.

I love working at Eastside because of the supportive team environment and shared passion for helping clients and families achieve meaningful goals.

My favourite place in the world is Italy. I loved road tripping around Sicily and can’t wait to go back and explore more.

I have an 8 year old dog named Archie.
