LYB Mindset Facilitator

About me: I began my career as an engineer; however, a pivotal family experience led me to shift paths and pursue a career in occupational therapy. I found deep fulfillment working with my patients, but my clinical career was unexpectedly cut short when I sustained a traumatic brain injury. Drawing on both my clinical expertise and personal experience as a TBI survivor, I have become a dedicated advocate and ambassador for the brain injury community. 

Why LYB: After participating in the LYB Mindset program, I regained a sense of self and belonging by being a part of a group who “gets it”. The LYB community has been instrumental in my journey and outlook on my situation, which is why I attended the training to become a LYB Mindset Facilitator. I am honored to be a LYB program leader and continue to help build a supportive community for those impacted by brain injury.

Superhero: My boys are my superheroes. My husband has been my strongest supporter and advocate from the beginning. Our son understands me more than most adults, and when I need a hug or a belly laugh.
