Doctoral Education Experience
I'm in my final semester of Gannon University's Post-Professional Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) program. The journey has been transformative - challenging yet deeply rewarding. Throughout this program, I've developed essential skills in research methodology, professional portfolio creation, and community program development. As I approach the culmination of my doctoral studies, I reflect with gratitude on the invaluable support and expertise provided by my mentor, faculty, and fellow classmates. While time management and adapting to new technologies presented significant challenges, I've persevered and grown. With the continued encouragement of my family, friends, and academic community, I stand confident in my ability to achieve my professional aspirations as I prepare to transition from student to doctoral-level practitioner.
