Bio: 

I came to WMU in 2013 after spending 6 wonderful years as a co-Academic Fieldwork Coordinator (AFWC) and Pediatric Clinical Instructor for the University of Illinois at Chicago's occupational therapy program. In 2010 I was invited to become a trainer for the American Occupational Therapy's national Fieldwork Educator Certificate Program and continue to teach the two-day course for clinical facilities all over the mid-west. Prior to academia, I spent my OT clinical career specializing in pediatrics and spinal cord injury at Children's National Medical Center and the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington DC, Hospital for Special Surgery on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC, now the Shirley Ryan Ability Lab). 

Fun Fact: I have lived in 8 different states and traveled to 12 different countries. My leisure occupational energy is drawn toward bodies of water, always finding a way to paddle board, kayak, power boat or sail on any shoreline encounter. I am also an avid runner and biker.
