“I graduated from the College of Charleston with a Bachelors in Exercise Science. I am a doctoral occupational therapy student at Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC, and will graduate in May 2025. I have two cats named Willow and Winston with my fiancé Christopher, with whom I spend most of my time. My passion for occupational therapy and children inspired this capstone project. I am excited to share important, evidenced-based information on all things pediatrics and occupational therapy with caregivers, occupational therapists, and students.”

"I am an occupational therapy educator, researcher, and co-host of the While You Grow podcast. Passionate about rural health, pediatric occupational therapy, and higher education, I specialize in neuroanatomy, neuromuscular anatomy, and pediatric development in an OTD program. My research focuses on innovative teaching strategies and student engagement in OT education.

I am also the author of Pebbles' Great Adventure, a children’s book inspired by my work in pediatric occupational therapy.

Outside of my career, I cherish time with my husband and our three children while balancing my roles as an educator, clinician, and parent."
