Why did you decide to become an OT? I became an occupational therapist because I wanted a career where I could make a meaningful difference in children’s lives. I love helping children develop the skills and confidence they need to become more independent while partnering with families to support their success in everyday activities. Watching a child achieve something they once thought was impossible is what inspires me every day.

What do you like to do for fun? I recently moved back to rural South Georgia, where my husband and I are living in my childhood home on our family’s small farm. Outside of work, we love spending time outdoors—especially boating and taking long walks with our two dogs, Marsh, a black Lab, and Layla, a Golden Retriever. I also enjoy cooking, trying new recipes, and spending quality time at home. I’m definitely a homebody and love the slower pace of country living.

What do you love about TeamUp Therapy? What I love most about Team Up is the opportunity to meet families where they are, in the comfort of their own home through virtual therapy. It creates a relaxed environment where we can truly get to know one another without feeling rushed. I believe the best outcomes happen when therapists and caregivers work together as a team, and Team Up provides a wonderful opportunity to collaborate, build meaningful relationships, and help each child reach their fullest potential.

Areas of interest: I am passionate about empowering children to achieve functional independence in all areas of daily life while building confidence and self-esteem. I value partnering with parents and caregivers through education, collaboration, and support so therapeutic strategies can be carried over into everyday routines. I am also committed to advocating for the profession of occupational therapy by promoting its value, increasing awareness, and helping families understand how meaningful, occupation-based interventions can positively impact a child’s development and quality of life.
