Olivia C. Park MSOT, OTR/L — Occupational Therapist
Biography
Olivia has always been interested in the healthcare field and has had various experiences prior to donning the hat of an occupational therapist (OT). In her education, she explored the intricacies of aging services and management in the U.S. and in the country of her heritage, South Korea. Her experience as a certified nursing assistant and a caregiver has given her an appreciation for the gratifying results in outpatient rehabilitation as a hand therapist. Growing up, Olivia witnessed how home health OT helped her grandmother recover from a stroke and how it gave her renewed strength to return to meaningful activities. This inspired her to pursue a career in Occupational Therapy where she could create a holistic client-centered plan of care with her patients through a collaborative approach to help them reach their goals.
