"I grew up with a father as an OT and it was always a really intriguing occupation to me. I would go to work with him at his clinic from time to time and always loved to see him help people. I would eventually like to become an OT myself but for now, my role as an OTA is a perfect fit for my lifestyle and it's a fulfilling career."
