Thank you, Occupational Therapy Association of California! It was an honor for me to receive the Spirit of OT Award! 🙏🏼
…an award that recognize outstanding contributions, dedication, and/or initiative that exemplify the power of occupation to promote health and well-being and
enrich lives (local, state, regional, national, or international), and inspire others to personal action.
This award is a symbol of all the love, effort, passion, and hardwork I poured in the profession, state association, as well as memories and connections I’ve made in this field these past 7 years (since I was a student during our MOT program in 2018)... From the mentors that guided me and helped me get to where I am today, to my colleagues and select family that support me in this endeavor, and to the students, my mentees, and my clients, who remind me of my why… Thank you! 🥹
Hope to inspire more students and new grads to see the beauty of our profession, despite all the challenges, we all are aware of. 🥰
To my communOT - listen closely to the second part of my thank you speech. 😁
The good news that I was mentioning for the past couple weeks lies in this 5 minute video! Listen to the bio! 😉
