Thankful for everyone who showed up to our poster presentation on #childhoodtrauma and #occupationaltherapy that was consistently packed for the full 2 hours! It's such an important topic, and I'm glad you all think so, too! #AOTA19 AOTA MGH Institute Italian Home for Children IHP Department of Occupational Therapy

Yessss!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I wanted to come by & couldn't make it so I'll definitely check this out.

Can't wait to hear more about #childhoodtrauma and #occupationaltherapy from 2 of the ladies that inspired me to start this journey 2 years ago!! Now, I have 4 presentations on the topic myself! Forever grateful! ❤️#AshcraftandLynch #ACEs #aota19 AOTA

Hey, new friends! 👋🏻 #OTInstagramMeetsOTTwitter

This moment is still my favorite moment of #aota19! I can't believe I got to meet my favorite OT social media people in person! Floored by them & their accomplishments! OT𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉 {Mandy👋} ot4lyfe #shannenmarieot #blondeOTsocialmediabesties

Happy to be a part of this!

Thanks to my amazing mentor @otemily3 for the constant support and guidance!

Hi, everyone! I'm on my way to some GIGANTIC milestones including finishing up my doctorate capstone projects and graduating! It's fast approaching, so I'll be away for a while taking care of everything. Thank you all for understanding and wish me luck!!

Shout out to AOTA for capturing our favorite picture together! This was such a fun time and makes me wish I was back at the conference!

I'll be one of the presenters with Emily Zeman Eddy, OT, OTD, MS, OTR & we'll be presenting a workshop on mindfulness for at-risk youth in schools. We'd love to see you there to represent OT (& learn about trauma) at this #interdisciplinary conference! 😊

Let's talk about Taylor Swift (and OT). 💁🏼‍♀️ She recently released her lyrics music video for her new song, ME!. I saw this image and could *not* look away. Look at that pen grasp! How… instagram.com/p/BxAW1GZBkGN/…

Hey Taylor Swift us #OccupationalTherapy practitioners & students are dying to know! Why the adapted tripod grasp? Do you have an #OT? 😁 This grasp could help some of our clients with weak hand muscles or joints that are too mobile. We care! Why do you use it? Taylor Nation

Absolutely!!

Today, I presented my doctoral capstone project as the final step towards my OTD degree. Thank you to everyone who helped me get here, and especially my mentor Emily Zeman Eddy, OT, OTD, MS, OTR for her support, kindness, and assistance throughout this program. Next up ➡ graduation on Monday! 🎓

In the words of my school's provost, "is this going on Twitter?" 🤣 You betcha!!! 👩🏼‍⚕️🎓💯🥰🤗 Words cannot adequately express my feelings right now. I'm a Doctor of Occupational Therapy! 😄🙌🏼 Much more to come later, everyone!

So thankful for my mentor & this moment!

It's still surreal. Wow. A goal 14 years in the making has finally been achieved!!! Next up, board certification! Then, hopefully working in an outpatient pediatrics clinic. 🤞🏻🤸🏽‍♂️ There are big things ahead and I cannot wait to get started! #DoctorOfOT #Classof2019 #ByeBoston

It's official! I'm certified & have a wonderful job in outpatient pediatrics (exactly what I wanted)! 😊 I'm so thankful for everyone who has had a part in this journey for me! Let's get started! 🙌🏻 #certifiedOTR #grateful #pediatricOT

The best gift from my wonderful mentor Emily Zeman Eddy, OT, OTD, MS, OTR I am ecstatic & grateful to officially be part of this remarkable profession. 💕 #certifiedOTR #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #pediOT
