Working with individuals across the lifespan, I support and advocate for participation in occupations (meaningful and necessary activities specific to a person, client, or community) that include self-care, leisure, academics, and vocational skills.

I utilize a human-centered, scientific, and strengths-based perspective to promote inclusive and accessible design practices. Through cross-collaboration with diverse practice areas, I create products and experiences that are inclusive of people with disabilities.

Creative,
Human-Centered Healthcare

Since receiving my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy, I have completed a decade of clinical practice. I support working with individuals across the lifespan, collaborating with my clients, families, and healthcare and educational teams to develop goals to promote participation and increased independence in daily activities and routines.

I adapt toys, tools, and equipment to help facilitate participation and independence in play for children with disabilities.

Accessible Education and Assistive Technology

I currently work with children and young adults with acquired brain injury and other brain-based diagnoses. I use assistive technology (including powered mobility, augmentative and alternative communication, and switch use) to support participation and independence in educational, play, and self-care activities.

School-Based Services

I previously worked in public, private, and charter schools, preschools, and special education schools in New York City. I helped students navigate their school environment and build the physical, cognitive, and psychological skills to support learning, creativity, and engagement in the classroom and beyond.

Supporting Older Adults

I worked with older adults in inpatient settings and promoted participation and independence in self-care and leisure activities through therapeutic exercise, functional and meaningful activities, and cognitive skill building.
