About The College OT
With over two decades of experience as an occupational therapist (don’t know what an OT is?), I’ve dedicated my career to unlocking student potential. My work includes teaching, direct OT practice with college students, and research on factors that influence student success.
My mission? To transform campus environments into thriving ecosystems where every student can flourish. Let’s collaborate to create spaces where support, skills, and success intersect.
