Ellen Petrie (MScOT ’24) applied to the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy because it aligned with her value of serving others. “I knew through volunteering and from student jobs that I wanted a career where I got the chance to work with people every day to achieve their goals. And that is exactly what this degree has given me.”

During her studies, MacEachren became passionate about understanding how the various daily tasks and activities people engage in impact their health and their wellbeing. She also believes the Occupational Science program broadened her awareness of diverse perspectives and the importance of equity.
