Dr. Sarah Hoffman, Occupational Therapist
Working at Journey21 is such a dream come true. Growing up with a brother who has a rare neurological disorder, I always knew I wanted a career that would allow me to work with the IDD population. During my schooling, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and a Doctoral degree in Occupational Therapy. I have been volunteering with Journey21 for over 4 years now and in spring 2024 completed my doctoral capstone project with Journey21 by introducing a leadership and self-advocacy program to the academy students. During summer 2024 I was a summer academy lead instructor for Journey21.
Prior to Journey21, I worked for 3 years in an early intervention autism outpatient setting and 2 years as a special education paraeducator. I am excited to start my career as an OT and work with clients who have a variety of abilities.
I recently married my high school sweetheart, Spencer. I like to stay active by playing volleyball, soccer, and running. I love to hike and have climbed 3 mountains British Columbia. I also stay involved in the community by helping lead a local YoungLife Chapter at Kettle Moraine High School where I graduated from.
Journey21 is a special place and I deeply believe in their mission and values. I am looking forward to helping enrich the Journey21 community as it has continually fostered my own growth as a person and a professional.
