Why did you become an Occupational Therapist?
I became a therapist to serve others facing daily challenges as Jesus serves people. I want to meet people where they are and promote their dignity, purpose, and quality of life through functional activities.

What are you involved with in your community?
I am a member of Edgewood Baptist Church in Rock Island, IL where I am a Sunday School teacher and young adult leader and am involved with serving international populations. Over the last few years, I have enjoyed volunteering with World Relief, Pregnancy Resources, and Tapestry Farms in various roles to promote the well-being of clients from diverse backgrounds.

Certifications: 

• Certificate in Spanish for Health and Human Services Professionals
• Certificate for PeaceCorps Preparation

"I was very pleased with all of my care - pre op & post op. You did a wonderful job preparing me for surgery and getting me healed after."

"Excellent doesn't give the staff enough credit to how hard they work for their patient. All of the staff works very hard to give you extra help as each person needs."
