About Me
I am a Graduate Student at maryland/towson">towson-university">maryland/towson">Towson University. I am currently in the 5th year of the combined BS/MS program and have a 3.2 GPA. I aspire to be an occupational therapist specializing in neonatal intensive care unit pediatrics. I came all the way to maryland/towson">Towson specifically for the outstanding OT program offered and plan to make the most out of my opportunity.
Experience
I have had the opportunity to maryland/maryland/baltimore">baltimore">tutor maryland/baltimore">Baltimore elementary school students in Basic Math and English during my first year at maryland/towson">Towson. A rewarding aspect of the experience was to see the progress my African refugee students made, from little English to proper comprehensible sentences and dialogue. My strongest subject areas are Biology and Writing. My major has required proficiency in Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Neuroscience, and is writing intensive.
Approach
As an occupational therapy student, the overarching philosophy is that individuals are unique and several different contexts contribute to one's experience. Because of this philosophy, I take the time to recognize the difficulties and individualize learning. I do not only take into account material, but it's about finding what methods, organization, and environment is best in order to improve one's performance. It's also about working together and asking what results the student wants to see.
