rHi there! My name is Kelly, and I’m an Occupational Therapy Assistant with over 10 years of experience working with older adults across skilled nursing, long-term care, memory care, assisted living, and home health. In addition to hands-on clinical experience, I have 4 years of academic experience teaching and mentoring OTA students, helping them develop critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and ethical decision-making skills. I specialize in geriatrics, adaptive equipment, dementia care, productivity, and aging in place, and I also support students preparing for their NBCOT exams. Over the years, I’ve learned how to break down complex concepts into manageable, practical steps, whether working with students, families, or clients.
My tutoring approach is just like my treatment approach, patient, person-centered, and goal-oriented. I start by understanding each student’s strengths, challenges, and learning style, then tailor sessions to meet their needs while building confidence and independence. I emphasize practical applications and problem-solving, helping students not only master content but feel prepared to apply it in clinical or professional settings. Whether you’re looking for guidance in occupational therapy coursework, NBCOT prep, or professional skill development, I’m here to provide support, clarity, and encouragement every step of the way.
