About Me: 

Ciao! I’m Athena Zontini, an unstoppable force fueled by ambition, passion, and an unrelenting desire to make a difference in the world. Born with the fierce spirit of an Italian woman who knows exactly what she wants, I’m on a mission to take the world by storm—one meaningful impact at a time.

Currently, I’m on the path to becoming an Occupational Therapy Assistant, with plans to graduate from Salt Lake Community College in 2026. But don’t be fooled—this is just the beginning. My long-term goal is simple: to help people in need, to empower those who face challenges, and to help them rediscover their purpose in life. To me, Occupational Therapy isn’t just a career—it’s a way to restore joy, dignity, and meaning to the lives of those who need it most. It’s about breaking down barriers and giving people the tools to engage in meaningful activities despite their limitations. I believe that everyone deserves the chance to live life fully, and I’m here to make that happen.

When I’m not studying or plotting my global takeover, you can find me getting lost in a good book or conquering the trails while hiking. Nature is my sanctuary, and reading is my escape. But make no mistake—whether it’s hiking to the top of a mountain or supporting someone through their recovery, I’m always focused on the climb, both literal and metaphorical.

So, watch out world—I’m coming for you. And when I do, I’ll be lifting others up along the way, turning obstacles into opportunities, and making the world a brighter, more meaningful place, one person at a time.
