A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Anali, and I am currently a first-year graduate student at St. Ambrose, getting my doctorate in occupational therapy. My program is hybrid, so I am only in-person for classes a couple hours each week! I recently graduated (Dec 2024) from the University of Iowa with my degree in Educational Studies and Human Relations and my minor in American Sign Language. While in my undergraduate degree, I worked in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) as a patient care technician for almost 3 years and loved working with those infants. I have also worked with special needs children in my past and hope to continue to work with them in my future career. Overall, I love working with children of all ages and abilities!
