Thanks for visiting!
I started blogging in 2007 when I entered occupational therapy (OT) school. It started out as “OT Students (B)e(lo)n(g),” then “Days of Our OT Lives” (beginning practitioner) and finally, “Miss Awesomeness” (school-based OT, now business owner/private practice/adjunct faculty). I rarely blog anymore, but occasionally post on Instagram and Pinterest. I am now focusing on my books, since my first book was published!
