My job was to shadow the Occupational Therapists I was assigned to each week, and learn from them how a Occupational Therapist works week by week. I had to help each Occupational Therapist read diagnostic reports, give specific information according to the patient's prognosis, and perform specific treatment activities for specific patients. I shadowed Occupational Therapist in both an inpatient and outpatient setting.

I work at the University of Iowa Health and Wellness office in the CRWC. I work closely with the Health Coaches by making phone calls to university employees, informing them of our benefits at the Wellness office, and scheduling group or one-on-one workshops & interventions aimed at creating a healthy campus community for all employees and student. As well, I serve as a representative of UI Wellness at university new employee orientations. I also work at the front desk serving as the face of the CRWC Health and Wellness office, answering phone calls and making appointments.
