Professionally I was board certified in PediAtrics for Occupational Therapy. I initially worked in an out patient clinic which included hospital privileges to see patients when necessary. When I returned to college to pursue my Ph.D. at New York University, I continued to work for Easter Seals and also saw some patients privately. While in school I became an Instructor at Dominican College in Orangeburg, NY. I was the instructor for Occupational Therapy for children from conception to adolescence in the Baccalaureate and Masters program. While at NYU, I became eligible to sit for the board exam to be certified in pediatrics which I passed and received this credential.
