All About Mrs. K

I’m Mrs. K, and helping others has always been in my DNA! Growing up, I was the kid who couldn’t resist rescuing animals in need—whether it was a baby bird out of its nest or a stray dog in the street. That instinct to lend a hand stayed with me, and when my first career in advertising didn’t spark joy, I decided to take a leap and follow my true calling: becoming an occupational therapist.

In 1995, I left the world of advertising behind, waited tables at night, and dove into a year of prerequisites to pursue my dream. By 2001, I had earned my degree from Cleveland State University and started my OT career. For over two decades now, I’ve practiced in various settings. These days, I work primarily with students ages 3 to 22 in public schools, helping them master everything from tying shoes to building the skills they need to thrive. During the pandemic, I saw an opportunity to reach even more families and created virtual fine motor coordination classes for kids of all abilities. This passion project sparked something bigger: The OT Corner with Mrs. K, a place where I share practical tips, strategies, and conversations with childhood professionals to help kids reach their full potential.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, fellow OT, or an Occupational Therapy Student, I’m here to make learning fun, approachable, and full of heart. Thanks for stopping by—I can’t wait to connect and support you on your journey to helping kids thrive!🌟
