Summary

Through my years of working as an Occupational Therapist, the varied patient profiles which I have worked with in the various settings, have indeed broadened my clinical horizons. This further reinforces my work mantra of "If you give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day. If you teach him to fish, you will feed him for a lifetime." My goal for all my patients is to be equipped and supported with the necessary skills to participate in their daily occupations, while continuing to live purposefully and well-engaged within the community.
