Hi! I am a recent grad with my masters in occupational therapy, with 6+ years of experience working with kids. Most recently, I completed my pediatric clinical at a therapeutic preschool working with kids aged 2-7. Other relevant experience includes babysitting, being an after school Inclusion Aide, a summer camp fitness instructor, and more. I also have experience working with kids with disabilities, and have taken a lot of relevant coursework. Specifically, I was a graduate research assistant at the SLU Autism Center, which included being a summer camp leader for kids in elementary school with ASD. I am also BLS certified.
