My journey to becoming an occupational therapist began with volunteering at a summer camp for children with special needs. Helping children participate in fun and meaningful activities inspired me. I went on to study at The University of Texas at Austin and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. In 2014, I received my Master of Occupational Therapy degree from Texas Woman’s University, as Meagan Wisniewski, my maiden name.
After years of working as a pediatric occupational therapist, I learned to never underestimate any child's potential. Playing on a child’s level, using creative activities, and forming relationships with families are keys to my approach. I’m passionate about helping children and families make progress towards their goals.
I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Outside of work. I love trying new restaurants, spending time with friends and family, and traveling. I'm also enjoying being a Mom of two sweet girls.
