I am a licensed Occupational Therapist who has previously worked in Home Health. Unfortunately, during my time working for an agency, I encountered many patients who I felt would benefit from a greater level of care than their insurance would authorize. I often found myself wishing there were more I could do to help. I decided to follow my heart and do what I feel is right. I have been an OT for 9 years. I worked primarily in pediatrics for the first 8, but started in home health last year. I have loved working with the older generation: hearing stories, learning new things, and sharing laughs. I hope to be the answer to someone's prayers by helping their loved one with kindness and compassion.
