About Me:  Hello! My name is Stacy Forden. I am originally from Chicago, Illinois, and have been in Salt Lake City for the past 11 years. My background is in massage therapy, which I have been practicing for the past 9 years. I will be graduating from the OTA program in 2025. Occupational Therapy, to me, means giving someone back their freedom and independence by using skilled interventions to promote a more fulfilling life for the patient. One of my goals throughout this program is to fully immerse myself in my clinic rotations so I can have a better idea of what I may want to do when I graduate.
