My career has been worked at Boundary Trails Health Centre, seeing outpatient pediatric patients and their families in hospital clinic, in-home, at daycare, school, in the community, wherever support was needed. I was the contracted OT for Prairie Rose School Division (PRSD) for 5 plus years, and Borderland School Division (BLSD) for over a decade. In that time I was honoured to be a part of hundreds of children and their families lives. I thoroughly enjoy thinking 'outside of the box' and working collaboratively with whomever I had the privilege to be working with from children and students, their parents, daycare staff, teachers and educational assistants, other medical professionals and clinical staff. I have a zest for educating and providing workshops whenever I can. I have educated on a vast array of topics such as child development, school readiness, sensory processing, social-emotional development and DIR Floortime, and Regulation Room/Sensory Gym Programming, through to introducing programs such as Learning Without Tears® (formally Handwriting without Tears), and "How Does Your Engine Run?"®. I love creating innovative programs backed in research, with foundations in clinical theory, that fit the needs of children and the systems that support them. This led me to pioneer the Regulation Room/Sensory Gym Program in BLSD. This daily program was created to support the individual needs of many children in each school everyday by foundationally identifying and supporting regulation, improving engagement, and working on individual developmental skills. Innovation, collaboration, connection, and play are my jam!
