Biography

I have been an Adjunct teacher at Lehman College since the Spring of 2018. I am a graduate of Lehman College with an MS in Therapeutic Recreation and a CTRS (Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist) from the National Council on Therapeutic Recreation Certification. I also have a BA in Psychology from SUNY Oswego. I have had many working opportunities in the field of Therapeutic Recreation. Most of my working experiences have been within Long Term Care. I worked as the Director of a Therapeutic Recreation Department in a Skilled Nursing/Short Term Rehabilitation Facility and the Director of a Medical Model Adult Day Program serving older adults with Cognitive Challenges in New Canaan, CT. I worked very closely with Home Health Care through my role as Director of Adult Day. I also worked in an Assisted Living Facility as a TR Leader and worked Privately providing Recreation Therapy and Yoga for an older adult man in his home who had Alzheimer's Disease. While going to Graduate School at Lehman I worked as a TR Leader (for a Dementia Unit and Sub-acute Care Unit) in a Skilled Nursing/Short term/Subacute Rehabilitation Facility in the Bronx at the Jewish Home and Hospital, now called the Plaza.
