Occupational Therapist
I am an occupational therapist at Ohio State's Assistive Technology Center. I am an early career professional and received my OTD education from The Ohio State University where I gained advanced experience at the AT Center and as a student intern with a local wheelchair supplier. I am passionate about finding a just right match between equipment and users and regularly advocates for the needs of my patients. I am a leader in complex power and manual mobility with skills in propulsion analysis, pressure mapping and custom seating. I share my time as a Driver Rehab Specialist focusing on new drivers, aging drivers, and neruodivergent populations. I also share my time in the Smart Clinical at the AT Center helping match people with adaptive gaming equipment, home automation devices and other assistive technology. I enjoy collaborating with PT, OT, SLP, and Rehab Engineering to best serve my patients.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
