"My most recent supervisor while I was employed through my Master's degree program would say that I come to work with a positive attitude each and every day, no matter the circumstances. I am a firm believer that the work day goes so much smoother and more productive with a positive attitude and I have found that remaining positive on the job is infectious for all my colleagues."

"I've worked under my current supervisor for over five years and I'm consistently told that my ability to work in a very detailed manner is very much appreciated. In the field of occupational therapy, it is very easy to overlook minute details about a patient that could make or break the effectiveness of their therapy and I pride myself by being able to spot these things by being detail oriented on the job."
