I'm a late 20's (some say early 30's but I'm in denial) Occupational Therapist. I came into OT after needing a career change. Here is my life in a nutshell: After a degree in Biology I found myself working with some excellent folk in Birmingham at a digital media company called TW2/Yokoda. It was great. We had a ball. Then it died. Then I got a job working at Deepend London. I was told that wouldn't die. 6 months later it was dead. Then I did some freelance web development. Design Museum, .name, Bits of Panasonic, and then a 12 month stint at the BBC. Realising that I didn't want to bring down the beeb, I decided to take a year out and do some voluntary work in a independent living project for 4 young adults with disabilities. Then a short time working as an OT assistant in a school. Then back to the web working for HolidayExtras which was great. Having completed my training in 2006 I took on a research study at Oxford and then got a post in wheelchair services briefly before moving to The ACE Centre - an amazing charity working with children and young adults who have communication difficulties. Being at the ACE Centre allows me to fulfill my desires of tech + OT. It's great.
