The field of occupational therapy has provided me with opportunities to work in other countries, with many different populations, and in many different settings. In this field, you are never bored. After many years as a practitioner, I now find it very fulfilling to teach. This allows me to watch the transformation of young people into entry level practitioners. It is all the more exciting to do this in the lovely Shenandoah Valley.
