I became an OT because I believe that play, imagination, and connection are some of the most powerful tools for learning and growth. I love stepping into a child’s world, following their interests, and discovering alongside them. One of my favourite things about OT is that therapy doesn’t have to feel like work; it can be fun, meaningful, and full of creativity. Watching children build confidence, develop new skills, and achieve goals through play is what makes this work so rewarding.

I have my OT Masters Degree from McMaster, as well as a BSc from University of Waterloo in Health Sciences, minor in Medical Physiology and a Pre-Clinical Specialization

Additional Courses I have completed include: Foundations of Team-Based Primary Care, Mental Health 101, Gentle Persuasive Approaches (GPA) in Dementia Care: Supporting Persons with Responsive Behaviours, QPR Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Program, First Nations, Inuit and Métis Culture, Colonization and the Determinants of Health, Cultural Competence in Healthcare, Aboriginal History and Political Governance
