Interview with Brea
Tell us about yourself
I was born and raised in Minnesota, but I love enjoying all Arizona offers! I like hiking, reading, exercising, trying new foods, and hanging out with my husband, family, and friends!
Why did you become an Occupational Therapist?
I became an OT because I wanted to help individuals reach their fullest potential and be able to participate in the activities that are meaningful to them! I especially enjoy working with children and love seeing the smiles on their faces when they achieve their goals!
Why do you think your coworkers nominated you for being adaptable?
I am so blessed that my coworkers nominated me for being adaptable. I think they nominated me because of my ability to think on my feet and work with what is available. I can be flexible, and I’m willing to figure out anything that comes my way!
What do you love most about working with TEAM 4 Kids?
I love the positive atmosphere and the overwhelming sense of belongingness from all my TEAMmates! Everyone is so supportive in the clinic and community settings!
If you could have one wish come true, what would it be?
My wish would be to read the minds of my clients and to know what they are thinking, how they are feeling, or what their body needs! It would be so interesting to get a look inside their brains!
