That’s a wrap on my first conference in Anaheim!
Three trips to downtown Disney, several sessions full of learning, a life-changing keynote, daily trips to the pool, and one spontaneous visit to Huntington Beach later, I’d say was a success!
By far the best part was meeting my friends in real life! They became the immediate-inside-joke kind of friends where I wasn’t afraid to be my weird self around them 🙈 My time on the steering committee is coming to a close soon, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity I have had to work with students and this team over the last two years. I highly encourage all OTs, OTAs, and OTSs to get involved with AOTA and their state organization so that the voice of the profession is elevated.
