What do you enjoy most about teaching at Allen College?
I enjoy so many things! I love what I do. I enjoy engaging with the students and getting to be a small part of their OT journey. I like knowing that I am helping educate future OTs that will go out into our communities and make a difference. Our past and current faculty is such a special group…I treasure both the work and personal relationships we have with each other. I don’t think you find that in every program. I also love that my job is all about life-long learning. I try to push myself to learn something new every day, whether that is from reading, an experience, from students or a faculty member.
