Sarah is a pediatric occupational therapist who graduated from Saint Louis University with a Bachelor of Occupational Science and a Master of Occupational Therapy. She has always known that she wanted to work in the medical field with children, and when she found out that there was a job that combined eating, playing, learning, crafting, and teaching children to grow up to be the most independent and successful versions of themselves – she knew that occupational therapy was a perfect fit. Sarah has worked in a variety of settings, including an intensive feeding program, private practice, outpatient clinics utilizing hippotherapy and aquatic therapy, and pediatric home health with a strong focus on feeding and sensory integration. Sarah enjoys hiking with her husband and son and exploring new foods.
