Maddy’s joy comes from helping those around her live life to the fullest. This passion led her to occupational therapy where she could use her strengths in science and creativity to reach children and families’ goals. Maddy studied occupational science at the University of Southern California before heading east to get her doctorate in occupational therapy from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. During a stint in New York City, she worked in school and clinic-based settings using an emphasis in sensory integration. Maddy is excited to work at NAPA and continue her passion in interdisciplinary collaboration and lifelong learning. Finally back in her home state, Maddy can be found out in the sunshine walking, running, painting, or taking a class in a new sport or hobby.
