My name is Casandra Flores, and I am currently a student in the SLCC OTA program Class of 2023-2025. One of my goals as a student in the OTA program is to work with geriatrics and learn as much I can so I can effectively help people who experience difficulty to perform daily tasks activities. 

Occupational Therapy is summarized perfectly in this quote: 

Occupational therapy practitioners ask, "what matters to you?" not, "what's the matter with you?"

About me:

I'm from Mexico, I speak two languages: Spanish and English. I'm a first-generation student. 

My hobbies are reading, listen to music, outdoor activities, traveling, and working-out. Things that I'm passionate about is helping others, this would help me as a future OTA, being able to make a difference in people's life makes me feel happy and it's important for the community. 

Group studies, classmates, group chats, and communicating with my instructors helps me be successful in class. 

You will be able to find some examples of my work and how I have been improving.
