I have been an OT for 27 years, and I had the pleasure of completing my pediatric fieldwork at Jo Kelly under the supervision of Debbie Oliver (Akins).
I have enjoyed the life of an OT working in several settings, but loving my time serving kids in the education system. I am excited to be serving along side the great team at JoKelly this year, and hopefully for many years to come!
