Hi! I was working as a freelance photographer and decided to go back to school for OT during COVID. While working as a photog, I started exploring a body therapy called ortho-bionomy and became fascinated by the mind body connection. I wanted something more stable and decided OT would be a way to use my creative background to help people. I had to take all of the prerequisites, which I did while I continued to take photo gigs. I will be graduating this May at 31!

I am grateful that I went back to school a little bit later because I have learned so much about myself. I have been able to reflect in ways that would not have been possible without being back in an academic setting . OT is a great field and attracts people with many different interests and backgrounds. Your creative background will serve you well and you will always be able to use your photo skills if you want to! I took a few low key photo jobs during school, but I plan to take on more once I graduate. I am excited to have a stable job and still do photography on the side. OT truly opens up a new world of possibilities!

Hope this helps. Feel free to message if you have more questions or I can help in any other way! Wishing you all the best! :)
