About Me

My name is De'Shawn Hudson, I am a first-semester junior majoring in Recreational Therapy with a minor in Psychology. I am from Yazoo, Mississippi, and I have a clear vision for my future. I aspire to become an Occupational Therapist, where I hope to make a positive impact on the lives of others. My active involvement on campus shows my commitment to personal and professional growth. I am a member of various organizations and communities that promote community well-being. As a proud Spring 2024 initiate of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., I embody the values of leadership, scholarship, and service, seeking to uplift those around me. 

My passion for helping others is not just for show, it is a lifestyle that influences my everyday interactions and contributions. With my interest in understanding the psychological aspects of healing and rehabilitation, I pair my academic pursuits with hands-on experience, eager to learn and grow in this field. Being employed at Forrest General Hospital while also doing my practicum at Crescent Landing Senior Living Community. I also actively participate in campus events and outreach programs, connecting with peers and faculty to create a more inclusive environment on my school's campus. My journey reflects my dedication to my academic endeavors and my commitment to making a difference in my community. I hope this prepares me to become a future leader in the Occupational Therapy world. With my leadership experience, I hope to not only excel in my career but to be a role model and example for those who come behind me.
