As a school-based occupational therapist, I am part of the special education team. My role can include helping students build new skills and helping staff implement new accommodations and modifications for students to support sensory needs, school-based self-care and organizational skills, fine and visual motor skills, and pre-vocational skills. I have been an occupational therapist since 2016 and earned my master's and clinical doctorate degrees in occupational therapy from the University of Southern California. I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and also lived in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles before ending up in Seattle. When I'm not working, I love traveling, rooting for Bay Area sports teams (go Warriors), spending as much time as I can outside in or near the water, and hogging other people's dogs while making pros and cons list about whether or not it's finally time to get my own.
I am a Seattle native, big sounders fan, and lover of science. After graduating from Ballard High School and the Biotech Academy I traveled to Vancouver BC to attend the University of British Columbia where I received a B.S. in general science. I put my degree to work as a federal marine biologist working at NOAA on the bearing sea as a ground fish observer. Once the red fish, and blue fish were counted I met my wife, attended the UW for my Masters in Teaching, got married, had a baby and started teaching I am extremely excited to be a Raven and join the team at Robert Eagle Staff.
