Kayla Riel Email & Phone Number

My name is Kayla and I am in my second year of the five year Masters of Occupational therapy program. What makes me unique? I am a hard worker and I will do whatever I need to, to accomplish my goals in life. This is the characteristic that I have always liked most about myself. I am self-motivated and goal oriented. I am also a very organized individual. This organization allows me to prioritize my busy schedule so I can effectively and efficiently manage my time at work and at school.I have also had a plethora of part-time jobs in my lifetime in order to pay for school, my car, and other various bills, including retail and cleaning jobs. These jobs have instilled in me my resilient work ethic that I carry into other aspects of my life. Work is work, and whether I like it or not, I always try to put my best effort into any of my jobs. Volunteering in classrooms in my hometown and teaching elders how to use technology in today’s world made me much more focused as to what I wanted to do in my life. These volunteer experiences were self-fulfilling and I knew I wanted a job in which I would be rewarded in the same way. Occupational therapy combines my desire to help others with my passion for children and the elderly. I am passionate about my education and learning. I have always loved school, and college is no different. I love the feeling when something clicks in your head and you finally understand that one concept you have been struggling with for weeks. I have always been dedicated to my school work and I think that is the main reason why I have been so successful not only academically, but in other aspects of my life.
