Meet the grads

Urian D’Silva

By dcc2012 | November 16, 2022

Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Program: Master of Occupational Therapy
What attracted you to your field?

Occupational therapy is so versatile and nuanced and holistic. Occupational therapists have the amazing superpower of assessing a patient and figuring out how best to support them so they can participate in the activities they care about the most.

What is one piece of advice you have for students entering your program?

Look to your classmates and your professors. They will be your North Star, leading you towards success and to becoming the best occupational therapist (OT) you can be.

What is next for you?

I am currently working as a community OT with LiNK Rehab in Burnaby. In the future I plan on doing more for my community by starting programs aimed at underprivileged youth to help them access the sports and activities they are interested in.
