I have been an occupational therapist for 22 years.  I have worked in a variety of settings. Currently, I am an academic fieldwork coordinator/assistant professor at Mount Mary University.  I have volunteered on the WOTA board for the past 6 years.  I have certifications in lymphedema, home modification, and I am a certified aging in place specialist. I currently volunteer my time with WOTA, AOTA, Waukesha County special needs committee, and as a parent-to-parent educator.  I am an advocate for special needs families and the OT community. I enjoy helping people find their strengths and reach their goals.

I have volunteered over the years for both NBCOT and WOTA and feel strongly about what our profession offers to our clients.
