Hello, my name is MinJi and I will be the occupational therapist at Carousel School.

My previous OT experiences consist of inpatient acute care, mental health, and home health in various facilities.

Facilitated group occupational therapy treatment to patients with diagnoses including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and autism spectrum disorder among others.
