What Led Them Here

I first found occupational therapy in the middle of my Bachelor of Arts in university. I had just changed majors from Political Science to Psychology because I found the human mind, and the effect that environment coupled with biology can have on it, fascinating. I had then looked up what careers individuals with a Psychology degree often go into and one of the options was occupational therapy. I recognized that profession, as my aunt is an OT so I reached out to her and immediately thought that this was something I could do. As an OT you are assisting others to achieve the meaningful activities in their life and using a holistic model to get there. That sounded like a fantastic job to me, so I shadowed OTs across multiple practice settings the following summer. The ability to work in so many different areas while still promoting that core goal of enabling one’s occupations ultimately sold me on this profession.
