About Me

Hi there! I'm Shanmin, a bilingual occupational therapist based in Michigan with a passion for teaching and learning. I graduated with my master's degree in occupational therapy and bachelor's degree in Sociology with a minor in Spanish from Wayne State University, both with summa cum laude honors. I passed my NBCOT board exam March 2025 on my first try! Teaching has always been a strength of mine, which is why I worked as a teaching assistant in graduate school for Anatomy & Physiology as well as Neuroscience. When studying to pass the NBCOT exam, I naturally found myself organizing and leading tutoring sessions for my classmates to help them pass, too. I have given numerous guest lectures at my alma mater, including a presentation called "Cracking the Code: Passing the NBCOT Exam". I also have graduate research experience and publications in pediatric sensory processing, cognitive health and aging, and hand therapy rehabilitation post spinal cord injury. I love giving back to my community by helping OT and OTA students graduate with less student debt via my passion project on Instagram, @the_scholarship_ot.
