Class of 2028 (she/her)

I grew up in a small town near San Francisco, CA. Now, I love North Carolina and have felt so welcomed into our community here at Duke OTD. I graduated from California Polytechnic State University with a BS in Child Development. At Cal Poly, I experienced the bright environment of OT by shadowing OT’s in sensory integration clinics, nature-based pediatric OT, hand therapy, and feeding therapy. 

I am a sister, daughter, friend, partner, and dog mom! At Duke OTD, I am especially interested in the NICU elective and working with horses and children doing Hippotherapy. Some of my favorite activities include baking, going for walks, spending time with friends, and taking spin classes.
