Hello, my name is Alexis Poe. I am pursuing my doctoral degree in occupational therapy at the University of St. Augustine in Dallas, Texas. I attended Truman State University, obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science with a concentration in occupational therapy. At Truman, I competed on the women's swim team for 4 years. My experiences have failed my interest in aquatic therapy. I am passionate about water-based exercise and hope to inspire others to explore its benefits.

The Capstone Experience
The Capstone Experience
A capstone experience is a project or course typically completed at the end of an academic program. It allows students to apply the knowledge and skills they've gained to a real-world problem or research question, showcasing their expertise and readiness for professional or academic pursuits.
This capstone project explores perspectives of AT in a neuro-rehab setting, specifically with OTs, and how education on AT can be improved within this setting to incorporate AT more.
