Jesse graduated from NC State in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology (go Pack!) and she graduated from Lenior-Rhyne University in 2023 with a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (go Bears!). She has a passion for working with the pediatric population, having previously worked with children with autism and their families as a Registered Behavior Technician in the Charlotte area for 3 years. She also has experience connecting families of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to the NC Innovation waiver as a Registry Coordinator at an MCO. She counts herself lucky to have completed her fieldwork rotation as a student at P.A.T and to now have the opportunity to work with clients and their families as a pediatric occupational therapist here! One of her favorite parts of the job is getting to celebrate the everyday milestones and little victories with clients and families as progress is achieved!
