Personal Commentary

I am still involved in SJSU and teach an occasional course in the occupational therapy program. I still practice as an occupational therapist serving families with young children who have special needs. I moved to Vacaville and volunteer at both an animal sanctuary and serving meals to those who are unhoused. In my spare time I am still quilting and singing in various groups!
