About the Speaker
Hello! I am Jessica, an Occupational Therapist with five years of experience in acute in-patient care, feeding therapy, and pediatrics. I am passionate about sharing knowledge and expertise to empower professionals working to better their practice.
Beyond my professional journey, I have an adventurous spirit and love escaping into nature. My family and I adore backpacking and hiking all over the world. Earlier this year, we embarked on a two-week backpacking adventure through Patagonia (Chile/Argentina) with my 5-month-old daughter, proving that the love for exploration and the great outdoors is a family affair.
I also find immense joy in creative outlets. Whether it's sketching, practicing calligraphy, or assisting friends with wedding DIY projects, I cherish the opportunity to express myself through art. This love for creativity aligns seamlessly with my work as an Occupational Therapist, where I help individuals of all ages discover and harness their unique abilities, promoting holistic well-being and meaningful lives. I'm excited to share my passion for learning and my expertise with fellow professionals, guiding them on an educational journey that enhances their practice and celebrates the power of human potential.
