why do you love working at Puzzle Pieces and doing the work you do
I enjoy getting to know the children and young teens, figuring out what motivates them, helping them to incorporate their interests and strengths, finding creative ways to help them build their independence and confidence, and collaborating with their families to support carryover and making therapeutic strategies practical and meaningful within their everyday lives.
explain what you do at Puzzle Pieces
As an occupational therapist at Puzzle Pieces, I work with the children and young teens to bridge the gap between their current abilities and their fullest potential to actively participate in their meaningful daily activities.
what do you like doing outside of work
Outside of work, I love spending quality time with family and friends, getting lost in a good novel, cafe and food hopping to find the best local spots, and traveling whenever I can to experience new places and culture.
