Description

Recruited to play soccer at Gardner-Webb University, Abbey Smith of Oxford, N.C., chose to major in exercise science. She had a general idea that she wanted to help people and work with athletes, but wasn’t exactly sure of her career path. “My sophomore year, I was introduced to occupational therapy and it was a field that I didn’t know much about, but really intrigued me,” she reflected. “As I learned more about the profession, I knew I wanted to be an occupational therapist so I could help individuals get back to their activities of daily living.”
