Objective: To secure a position as an Occupational Therapist Qualifications: In over 30 years as an OTR and 32 years working in healthcare, I have amassed a great deal of working knowledge in: patient care, skilled intervention, leadership and teamwork. I have served countless clients of all ages with physical and/or mental disabilities. I believe I have developed a generous therapeutic “toolbox” to facilitate clients’ higher levels of safety, functionality, mobility, and subsequently a higher quality of life. I also believe myself to be a reasonable and pragmatic therapist who tries to communicate hope, but also attainable goals to my clients while integrating follow-through techniques with their caregivers, paraprofessionals, and other professionals. In addition, I have worked in many settings and milieus. I strive to be a positive team player that is flexible and easy to work with. I also have a vast knowledge of Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, productivity expectations and budgeting from my 3 years as a Rehab Director. I have supervised many COTA’s and OT students. Education: Syracuse University (Magna Cum Laude) B.S. in Occupational Therapy Employment
