My name is Katherine and I am an Occupational Therapist from Singapore. I started my journey as an OT in 2015 with a Volunteer Welfare Organization working with children in the early intervention setting. 

​

I really enjoy working with children as seeing the children progress and improve over time is very motivating. I love connecting deeply with every child I meet, getting down to their level to interact, knowing what they like and learning to understand their personality. Oftentimes I put on a compassionate and understanding hat, believing, supporting and adapting to each child to bring out the best in them.

​

The opportunity to work with children and to observe and interact with them has given me new perspectives to life. I have learned to value the simple joys and to appreciate the little things. I constantly look forward to new discoveries to help improve the lives of the little ones and the families I meet.

​

Enjoying my work has been a motivation for me to continuously learn and grow in my profession. I see the importance of a holistic approach in working closely with the caregivers and the other professionals involved in a child’s life.

 

 I work at Mighty Oaks one full day per week, providing an hour of therapy for each class once a week. My first 30-minute session for each class is a gym group addressing gross motor skills, and the second 30-minute group focuses on fine motor skills and handwriting.
