Olivia Freehill
Occupational Therapy Student
Hello everyone! I am an occupational therapy doctoral candidate graduating in May 2024. While occupational therapy may be one of the least talking about health professions, I love to advocate and teach others about the wonderful, holistic profession. I am very passionate about mental health, a passion that lead to the topic of my capstone experience.
