Welcome
My name is Sarah Haywood, and I am an Doctoral of occupational Therapy (OTD) student at Methodist University. I am truly grateful and excited to share my journey, experiences, and insights with you. Together, we can explore the fascinating world of occupational therapy and my passion for advocating for meaningful and equitable participation for children, families, and underserved communities. As everyone deserves the opportunity to grow in a safe and supported environment and achieve their fullest potential.
Again, thank you for being here, and I look forward to connecting with you!
Introduction
Aspiring occupational therapist with a strong foundation in kinesiology and a commitment to promoting meaningful, equitable participation for children, families, and underserved communities. Eager to apply clinical knowledge, leadership, and current hands-on experience used in community service to contribute meaningfully in clinical and non-traditional practice settings.
Here, you will find a collection of my clinical preparation, academic achievements, professional growth, leadership involvement, and my passion for promoting systemic change while evolving the identity of OT as a future practitioner. Demonstrating my dedication to evidence-based practice, client-centered care, trauma-informed care approaches, advocacy, and community service. As I enter Level II Fieldwork, I will continue to grow, refine my areas of interest, and transition into a licensed OT practitioner.
