Why did you choose occupational therapy as your profession?

I love the holistic approach occupational therapy takes to helping students overcome obstacles they face in their educational journey. I feel blessed to have a career where I am able to work collaboratively with students, teachers, parents and other team members to positively impact my students’ experiences at school.
