My name is Abby Mueller and I am from St. Louis, Missouri, but moved to Indianapolis to start school in August of 2019. I'm currently a second year student at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. I am studying Psychology on the Pre-Occupational therapy track and receiving a minor in Spanish. My future career goal is to receive my doctorate in Occupational therapy and work with children who have disabilities. My mom would be my biggest role model when relating to my career path. She has taught children with special needs for 17 years. She has always treated her students not as different, but as a child who needs to be cared for. I remember days sitting in my mom's classroom and always putting the child's best interest first. She doesn't baby them, but doesn't expect too much out of them, she has set her students up for success. These experiences have drove my passion to end the discrimination and stigma around people who have disabilities and is the sole reason why I have devoted myself to this career field.
