Get to know me

I'm a licensed occupational therapist who has chosen to practice primarily in the area of pediatrics for the last 10+ years. I have experience in hospitals, outpatient clinics, home care, schools and virtual setups. In all of these settings I have enjoyed making special connections with kids and their families. I have benefited from the experience of working across multiple settings to have first hand experience with the different expectations our kids experience across all the areas of their lives.

I am thrilled to be able to use all of this knowledge and experience to partner with Kinspire families. I know that working together with families is where therapists can truly make the biggest difference in the lives of the kids we see. Outside of my work, I'm a mom to three young kids so I know first hand how busy and joyous a life with young kids is. My family and I live in Summerville, SC where we enjoy lots of time outside, trips to close by beaches and the friendships of our close knit community.

I look forward to working with you and your family through Kinspire. I am excited to be a part of a community that is all about collaboration and a holistic view on life. Together, we can make sure that children and families live life to the fullest.

Other Interests

Outside of work, my time is devoted to my three precious children! I love spending time with them going for bike rides, playing at the pool or beach, doing fun activities like baking cookies and just living our lives together. I also enjoy time with friends eating really good food, listening to great music and laughing until we cry.

"Kinspire allows me to build a relationship with families in their day in and day out lives and truly help make a difference in their lived experiences in a way I couldn't in a clinic setting."
