Summary

In my early adulthood, after my great grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, had an occupational therapist who came to assist with basic life functions. I had fallen in love with the psychology field of being able to help assist others to perform their day-to-day needs to help them live life to their fullest. I am an ambitious, career-focused job seeker, anxious to soon continue my education either at Pitt or Kutztown University for masters in TVI and Orientation and Motor.
