"I received my bachelor's degree in recreation therapy from Arizona State University after completing a four-month internship at the Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences. The internship and schooling prepared me for a career as a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist by allowing me to learn and practice in an acute hospital setting. I learned how to assess patients and create treatment plans based on their individual needs, how to use leisure and recreational activities to promote functional skills, how to help patients form positive attitudes, and how to teach community reintegration skills."
