Loretta received her degree in Occupational Therapy from University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota in 2000. She loves working in pediatric occupational therapy to empower children, as well as parents and families, to reach their fullest potential. By providing necessary tools and support, children can achieve milestones that boost their confidence and independence, while also equipping families with strategies to support their child’s growth at home and in the community. A North Dakota native, Loretta now enjoys year-round warm weather and going on hikes or bike rides. She also loves going to theater productions and spending time with family, especially her beautiful, new granddaughter.
