“When I was younger, I received treatment for my hand and was able to regain its function through therapy and splinting; so when it was time to consider careers, I knew that this was what I wanted to do. Occupational therapy is a powerful health profession for native people because we’re not solely looking at the medical ailment, we are considering the person, their environment, family and spiritual well being.”
"Getting an education is so important! My elders have always said that getting an education is the key to helping ourselves and our people. Although it can be tough in today’s world, it is worth it!”
