Jane Atwood

As a highly motivated and compassionate individual, I am excited to complete my Masters of Occupational Therapy at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in Austin, TX. With a strong academic foundation in the sciences and hands-on clinical experience across pediatric and adult populations, I am passionate about supporting individuals with physical, cognitive, and developmental differences in living meaningful, independent lives.
