Meet Chantel Hubbard. Chantel is a Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant who works with learners at SCVi, iLEAD Agua Dulce, and iLEAD Exploration. Chantel feels fortunate to have worked with learners and families for the past three years. Chantel first came to iLEAD because she loved the creative opportunities iLEAD provides. She knows iLEAD is a place where a learner’s creativity is not only encouraged but nourished, and Chantel gets to support that creativity in learners every day!
Chantel has been greatly inspired by her first supervisor, Donna, her role model in the field of Occupational Therapy. Donna demonstrated a holistic approach to OT that looked at the individual as a whole. Her influence is evident in Chantel’s holistic approach to Occupational Therapy sessions.
Chantel’s lead, Brooke, had the following to say about her: “Chantel brings so much experience, creativity, and a collaborative spirit to our iLEAD OT team as well as to all the learners she supports. Not only is she organized and dependable, but she also goes above and beyond to make sure she’s incorporating each learner’s strengths and interests into each of her sessions. She is truly a team player and a leader within our department. Chantel is a talented photographer outside of work and has a truly exceptional artistic spirit.”
Chantel likes to turn a day around with fun, positive, upbeat music. When asked the best piece of advice she’s been given, Chantel said, “Take life one day at a time. Living in the past or in the future takes away from the moment.”
We are so blessed to have Chantel working with learners and staff each and every day. If you see her around, stop and say hi.
