Philosophy

Eleanor Roosevelt said, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." This quote has helped me establish my personal and professional philosophies. I believe in helping students achieve their dreams through a growth mindset, empowerment, perseverance, and a positive attitude. I am grateful for the opportunity to help students build these core values in the classroom then transfer them into clinical practice. I am passionate about helping students flourish into the best version of themselves. I live for "light bulb" moments when I get to share student's joy of applying AT education content to clinical practice.
