I went to Quinnipiac University in Connecticut for OT and graduated in 2020. I was a rehab aide at Spaulding Hospital throughout college, and was lucky to take a position as an OT on the cardiopulmonary floor soon after graduation. Starting a healthcare career in a pandemic has definitely been a challenge, but I have learned so much and can't wait to continue to learn!]]> 2021-05-19 21:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolemoran1/tl75u4lcas5bfwdo/wish/1541480553 nicolemoran1 https://padlet.com/nicolemoran1/tl75u4lcas5bfwdo/wish/1541503388 I am very close with my family which includes my mom, dad, brother and a big extended family with many aunts, uncles, and cousins. I have been so lucky to grow up in such a supportive environment.

I also have a rescue dog named Clover! She is a 10 year old Australian Shepherd mix who loves to run, hike, play like a puppy. We spend as much time outside as we can, and she has been my hiking and running buddy for years. (yes, she is representing MGH IHP in the picture!)

I was even lucky enough to travel to Nicaragua 3 separate times for OT service work. I immersed myself in a new culture and made connections I will never forget. ]]> 2021-05-19 22:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolemoran1/tl75u4lcas5bfwdo/wish/1541551297 nicolemoran1 https://padlet.com/nicolemoran1/tl75u4lcas5bfwdo/wish/1541556812 1. I have always wanted to work towards my doctorate so I can
-learn skills and knowledge to help me find ways to help my patients/clients to the best of my ability
-open up new possibilities throughout my career while also having a good work/life balance.
-Have the skills to teach new OT's and help them find their passion like I have found mine!

2. Find ways to improve the systems I work within- I have seen difficult situations and have seen some deficits in our overarching systems, especially during the pandemic. I would love to be a part of finding solutions for these issues

3. Help as many people as I can throughout my career, including myself! I want to find ways to continue to be passionate about my work, find ways to better the OT community, and continue to learn because I know all of these things will help my patients too!

I started baking with sourdough over quarantine! My specialty dessert is cinnamon buns with cream cheese frosting

Travel
I have been slowly planning trips as things normalize from covid. I am taking a break from travel for now, but will definitely be spending some time in North Conway

Photography
I started taking photography courses in high school and have always loved taking pictures at sporting events, family events, and of the outdoors. I am hoping to do more, especially when traveling!]]> 2021-06-11 15:52:49 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolemoran1/tl75u4lcas5bfwdo/wish/1601388104 nicolemoran1 https://padlet.com/nicolemoran1/tl75u4lcas5bfwdo/wish/1601402171 2021-06-11 15:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolemoran1/tl75u4lcas5bfwdo/wish/1601402171 nicolemoran1 https://padlet.com/nicolemoran1/tl75u4lcas5bfwdo/wish/1601410588 2021-06-11 16:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolemoran1/tl75u4lcas5bfwdo/wish/1601410588 nicolemoran1 https://padlet.com/nicolemoran1/tl75u4lcas5bfwdo/wish/2192057268 I also have a hedgehog named Walter!
