Student Representative: Pima Medical Institute

What do you love about OT?

I love occupational therapy because it allows me to make a meaningful difference in people’s everyday lives. Helping others regain independence, confidence, and the ability to do the things they love is incredibly rewarding to me.

How did you choose this profession?

I knew I was interested in helping people, but I wasn’t sure in what capacity. As a registered behavioral technician, I had the opportunity to work closely with occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants. After sitting in on their sessions, I quickly fell in love with the field.

Why did you choose to become an OTAC student representative?

I have always been passionate about advocating for others and ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard. This position is unique because it allows me to advocate for my fellow Pima students while also supporting and promoting the field of occupational therapy.
