Hello! I’m a pediatric occupational therapist/founder of sparking potential
.
Some of my passions include neurodiversity affirming practice, service design, swimming, gardening, and keeping up with my two very energetic kids!
After spending over a decade working as an OT, I decided to take a break to focus on my family. During that time, I wasn’t completely away from learning.
I finished a post-professional master’s degree, became involved with research projects as a parent/public partner, and, of course, learned so much from my day-to-day life as a mom.
Now that I’m back in practice, I’m excited to bring all those experiences to help support you and your child.
