Prior to being a COTA, I worked as a paraeducator for children with special needs in elementary school, both in Washington State and in India, where I lived with my family for eight years. I made a late career shift, recently graduating from Lake Washington Institute of Technology’s OTA program in 2025 while having a BA from the University of Washington in 2001.

I am passionate about supporting families during the early years of their children’s development and am thrilled about joining the ESIT Team at Encompass!

Outside of work, I love spending time with my daughter, who recently started college, being in nature, taking long drives with my partner, and exploring different cultures through travel.
