“During my time with ESP, I was able to get to know families and their participants on a personal level and observe the effects that therapy, specifically occupational therapy, had on their lives. Being able to witness the successes of the participants with the help of their occupational therapy solidified my wishes to work specifically with this population in the future.”

What’s next: Master’s in occupational therapy at Georgia Regents University
