One of my biggest passions has always been working with children and making a meaningful difference in their lives. For the past 15 years, I have had the opportunity to work with children in a variety of roles and settings, and each experience has strengthened my passion for helping children learn, grow, and feel confident in themselves.

My most recent role has been working as a Pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA/L) with Mindful Motion Therapy LLC. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with children with Autism, Down Syndrome, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, and other individual learning differences. Through my work in pediatric occupational therapy, I developed a deeper understanding of how important movement, sensory experiences, play, and creativity are to a child’s development.

Once I became a pediatric COTA/L, I especially fell in love with community programs and finding creative ways to use the skills I had learned to create meaningful experiences for children. I saw how much children can learn and grow when movement and learning are made fun, engaging, and accessible.

That passion inspired me to create Motion Quest LLC with the drive to provide more youth enrichment programs throughout Connecticut that foster learning, creativity, physical growth, and social-emotional development.

Through yoga, music, movement, imaginative play, and other creative activities, my programs are designed to support the whole child while giving children the opportunity to learn new skills, build confidence, and simply have fun.

My goal is for every child who participates in a Motion Quest program to feel confident, included, successful, and excited to come back.
