Journey of an OT wannabe

What is occupational therapy? 

OT is a healthcare profession that helps people return to what’s most meaningful to them. 

Pretty vague right...? 

The beauty of this profession is how it allows us to help anyone regardless of age, background, or diagnosis in very creative and holistic ways. Our education and training helps us understand the many components that make up a person (such as their mental health, physical abilities, emotional well being, social supports, etc.) and how these factors can help or hinder a person’s ability to engage in everyday activities. 

Here are just a few examples of what OT’s can do: 

Hey everyone, thanks for finding me on Tumblr! I’m Jess and I’m currently an occupational therapy student who is about to start my fieldwork level II rotations. 

Just a little about myself... 

I grew up overseas but was raised most of my life in the United States! I love art, anime, games, and (of course) occupational therapy. I have a 14 year old Borgle (beagle and border collie mix) who likes to nap just as much as I do. I’m an introverted extrovert and a karaoke fiend.

I created this page to share my personal and professional growth as a therapist. I also hope to use this platform to share more about occupational therapy, provide tips/tricks I learn along the way, and learn from others! :)
