Hello, My name is Krysten Williams, and I have a passion for the geriatric population as I am in my second year of my doctoral program in occupational therapy (OT) at UT Health Science Center in San Antonio. After I graduate in May of 2023, I plan on working in a skilled nursing facility or inpatient rehab setting because I have a passion for serving this population. My doctoral program as well as work and volunteer experiences have prepared me to be the best candidate for this job opportunity. Furthermore, I have obtained over 200 clinical hours from combined patient care through shadowing and working with occupational therapists in various settings such as a SNF, hospital, outpatient setting, and home health setting. I currently care for a lady living with dementia and have worked in two assisted living homes during my time in undergrad. Furthermore, my experience working as a rehab therapy tech at CHI St. Joseph Health provided a unique experience for me as I assisted both physical and occupational therapists in providing therapy to the geriatric population. My courses in school have focused on the geriatric population this past year through numerous geriatric courses in adult biomechanics, neuroscience, and mental health. I am a very welcoming and encouraging person as I enjoy meeting knew people and learning what interests each patient. I know that I would be able to engage my assigned client in meaningful conversations based on their interests because I am passionate about providing care for this population. I am also very organized and very diligent when completing a given task at hand. I am held to incredibly high standards at UT Health San Antonio, and I see the benefits of carrying excellence over into my work setting. I can be reached anytime via email krysten.williams5@tamu.edu or my cell phone, (432) 7706257.
