What I do
I enjoy spending time with my two children, my family and friends, as well as visiting new places. I have two children and a yellow lab. I love being outside, being on a boat or going for walks by the ocean or lake, and spending time at my family’s lake house on Moosehead Lake. I love animals, and hope to incorporate animal-assisted therapy into my job one day.
I started working at Jameson Elementary School in the Fall of 2017, as the Occupational Therapist servicing I have been working at Jameson Elementary School since 2017, as the Occupational Therapist servicing special education students in pre-K to 2nd grade. As a school based occupational therapist my role is to help and support students be as successful as possible in their daily occupation of school. I feel tremendous joy when a child makes improvements, big or small. Before working at Jameson Elementary School, I worked as an Occupational Therapist with children in the outpatient setting for four years. I graduated with my Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from the University of New England (UNE) in 2013. I attended my first two years of college at the University of Maine, Orono, before transferring to UNE to pursue my passion to help others through Occupational Therapy.
