Matrescence Occupational Therapy

Meet Kelsey!

Kelsey will be completing her Level IIB to Capstone occupational therapy fieldwork rotations with us for a total of 3 semesters over the next year. We are honored that she chose us to explore a specialized and emerging practice area as a student. If you are working with us, you will be seeing her, so come say hi!

A little bit about Kelsey:
Kelsey was born and raised in Southern California. She attended Westmont College and became a teacher. After three years of teaching, she decided to change careers and pursue her doctorate in occupational therapy at the University of Southern California. Kelsey has a big heart for infant development and maternal health. When she is not at the clinic, she enjoys cooking/ baking, traveling, taking care of her plants, working out, going on walks/ hikes, watching movies, going to concerts, and spending quality time with family and friends!

Last week we visited The Mother’s Milk Bank in Austin for a tour of the facility with two of our future OT students! Aside from the amazing work that Mother’s Milk Bank is doing for babies in our community, they also receive donations and ship milk all over the country to babies in need of an extra boost.

Special thanks to Executive Director, Kim Updegrove and the rest of the milk bank staff who answered every one of our questions and shared the importance of what they do for moms, babies and families through milk donation.
