I grew up in Philadelphia and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from West Chester University, followed by my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Widener University. I am nationally board certified and licensed to practice in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Over the past several years, I have had the privilege of working with children in underserved communities, students requiring additional behavioral support, and a wide range of pediatric populations in both school-based and outpatient settings. I specialize in building fine motor skills through meaningful, functional tasks that promote independence and enhance overall quality of life. I am also trained and certified in the Handwriting Without Tears (HWOT) curriculum.
I am passionate about collaborating with families by offering task analyses, strategies to support carryover at home, and tools for co-regulation. One of my favorite parts of working in pediatrics is celebrating the small daily wins that build into life-changing accomplishments.
Outside of work, I enjoy watching medical and criminal dramas, exploring new ice cream shops, and spending time with my dog, Ruby.
