I live in South Portland with my husband and 3 kids.
I have been a school based OT for over 22 years and absolutely LOVE it!
I grew up in New Hampshire and fell in love with Maine during my time at the University of New England.
Coaching is a fun way I spend my time after school. I've coached everything from soccer to T-ball, softball, and GOTR. I've even coached pillow hockey for our community center ...... Pillow hockey is so silly.
2020 was the first year I ever coached unified basketball for our high school. It was amazing and I can't wait to do it again. Go R-I-O-T-S!
My family does a lot of fishing and lobstering in the summer. Casco Bay is my favorite place to be when I am not at school.
The best part of being an OT is helping kids learn new skills. We use a lot of art, exercise and play to practice and perfect challenges until they become EASY. Practice, patience and a positive attitude is all you need to improve anything you set your mind to!
