Co-chair
As a student
who is very excited about pursuing my passion of becoming an Occupational
Therapist here at USC and strives to get involved, I am running for the Student
Council Co-Chair. With a strong background in management as an administrative
chair member for my sorority, I know that I have the qualities and experience
to ensure that regularly scheduled meetings are held, a committed team is in
place, and the ease and organization of the student council is maintained. Previous experience as an event coordinator
and team leader for a UCLA Green Jobs Fair committee proves my dedication,
reliability and organizational skills. I was responsible for keeping the
committee informed about weekly meetings, recruiting fellow students to
participate and making sure our time was spent efficiently to create a
successful event. I also like to have fun and be creative with my
administrative tasks so that our work as a team is enjoyable. Knowing how much our class enjoys themed
events, I would propose that each meeting has a theme to make our meetings more
fun, whether it be dressing up, or bringing in themed snacks! I believe my positive energy, enthusiasm for
the field of Occupational Therapy and strong background in administrative work
make me a strong candidate for the Student Council Co-Chair. I would be honored
to represent our class as the Council Co-Chair and promise to fulfill my duties
to keep our student council organized, strong with leaders, and always striving
for the best. 
Even
though I have only been in the Occupational Therapy program for a little over
two months, it has already been stressed how important it is to get and stay
involved. I am eager to become involved
in the program through OTSC’s Co-Chair position and deepen my dedication to the
field of Occupational Therapy. I do not commit to anything unless it is
something that I know I can not only do, but also do well. The Co-Chair is a
position that requires time and energy- two things that I am prepared to contribute.
I will promptly return emails and answer questions from faculty and students that
are frequently thrown in the Co-Chair’s direction. I chose to run for Co-Chair as
opposed to a different position because I thrive in situations where I am
required to look at the big picture while simultaneously understanding the
smaller details that are involved in an organization. I have prior experience
running efficient and effective large meetings and can bring those skills to
OTSC. I am highly organized and can successfully communicate with numerous
people in a timely manner. I am confident that I would make a great Co-Chair
and will be very thankful if I am awarded the position… fight On, Trojans!
Secretary
Laura Hoffinger
The
Occupational Therapy Student Council is an important organization where
occupational therapy students can gather and share ideas. This is
important to the professional student body because the future of our profession
depends on the support it gains from energetic and thoughtful students. Member representation and organizational leadership
are critical to the future of any organization and I would like to be involved
in the OTSC to help influence the future of our field as well as the
occupational therapy student body at USC. Entering the OTSC in the role of secretary
would be a great way to introduce me to the organization, use my skills, help
represent other students and disseminate information back to those students.
I
am qualified to be secretary because I am able to listen during long
discussions and keep track of the conversation, the points raised, and the
eventual resolution. I have served in this role before for my organization in
college. I can commit to attending all meetings for the entire duration, take
accurate minutes, and prepare those minutes in a format that is readable,
comprehensible, and available to both students and faculty. I hope become a part of the OTSC as secretary with your support.
GSG Senator
Casey Doyle
My name is
Casey Doyle and I am interested in running for the position of Graduate Student
Government (GSG) Senator.
Prior to
entering USC’s OT program, I worked in a corporate setting where I was required
to interact and negotiate with others to accomplish goals. My department was a newly
developed group growing within a large organization so we constantly worked to
bring attention to the unique services we offered and quality of work we were
doing. Simultaneously, being new meant everything we did was under scrutiny.
Therefore it was essential to consistently maintain professionalism and good
rapport with the larger divisions, who were often unaware of our role in the
company. By personally fostering relationships with individuals in these departments,
I was able to raise awareness and outline the distinguishing features of our
group.
The skills
and social etiquette I developed in my previous role will effectively carry
over to the position of OTSC’s GSG Senator. I want to have an active role in
OTs connection to USC’s graduate community. I will be a strong representative of
the OT department and will advise others within GSG on the unique qualities OT offers.
I also want to be sure that OT is allocated proper funding, receives adequate attention,
and is actively involved in the GSG organization. I see this as a mutually
beneficial opportunity where we can raise positive awareness for the profession.
I believe I have the social skills, maturity, and professional knowledge to successfully
fill this role.
Fundraising Chair
My name is Kristina
Fender, and I’m running for the position of Fundraising Chair for the
Occupational Therapy and Science Council.
I graduated from Sacramento State University as a Liberal Studies major
with a minor in American Sign Language.
While attending Sierra College in the year 2011, I served in the
position of Vice President of Leadership in the Phi Theta Kappa Chapter of
Sierra College Honor Society. Vice
President of Leadership was a great opportunity for me to hone my leadership
skills. My role as Vice President
entailed leading meetings when the President was unable to attend, motivating
members to stay active and involved in events, and organizing several
fundraising events ranging from car washes to bake sales.

additional materials needed, and motivate others to contribute their time and
effort towards future events. I would
love to be given the opportunity to continue my personal growth as a leader and
contribute my previous knowledge from leadership roles. I’m prepared for the challenge of
contributing all my effort towards planning fundraising events, as well as,
helping wherever is needed.
Social Chair
My name is
Jennell Kim, and I’m running for the class of 2014’s Social Chair position for
USC’s Occupational Therapy Student Council.
Considering that Social Chair is a position that calls for organizing
various opportunities to not only meet others on our campus who are pursuing
different medical professions, but to also meet other OT students in various
schools across the nation, you may wonder in what ways that I qualify for this
position? After graduating the
University of California, San Diego, I dived right into a school for students
with disabilities. It was in this
setting that I learned the true meaning of an interdisciplinary approach. No one
profession played the pivotal role in a child’s life. Instead, the teachers, directors,
occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech pathologists, psychologist,
pediatricians and the assistants all came together, collaborating ideas in
order to treat each student in a holistic manner. My specific title within this school was the
job coach coordinator. What this
required from me was to network the programs created for our students to the
community in order to develop rapport and create opportunities on a wider
scale. I know how important it is to
communicate what it is that we do, to advocate for what we are passionate
about, and to form relationships across the board, and given the opportunity, I
seek to establish access towards building strong foundations with other future
leaders in the medical field. 
Hello OT
friends! J I’m
Clarissa Tu and I would LOVE to be your social chair on OTSC. Everyone I’ve met so far in the program has
such friendly and unique personalities that it’d be a shame to not get to know
one another! However, with so many people in both first and second year
classes, organizing activities that include everyone could be difficult
independently – social chair would grant me the opportunity and resources to
make it easier J.

one another! However, with so many people in both first and second year

make it easier J.
There are so
many other disciplines here at USC and it’d be great to have mixers with
pharmacy, dentistry, PT, med students, etc.
We’re all going to be colleagues in the future, so we might as well get
a head start with networking and learning about their professions right? The networking doesn’t end there – we can get
a foot in the door in integrating with future OTs from other programs and learn
different perspectives on OT. The
activities I would plan with them would be professionally beneficial AND fun!
I have a few
ideas in mind for activities to come in the next two years and they include having
OT tailgates for football games, beach days or bonfire nights, clubbing events,
roller skating nights, and, of course, what you the people would like J. I like planning and social chair is
the perfect position for me to make things happen! So let’s go out and make some new friends,
shall we? J
Professional Development Chair
Hi
everyone! My name is Stacy Weingarten and I am running for the Professional
Development Chair. I am enthusiastic
about this position because of my desire to bring the USC Occupational Therapy
program together as a unified group and my eagerness to promote the profession
of occupational therapy. As the
Professional Development Chair I would like to organize several events, which
would combine the first and second year students, the OTD students, and the
professors. I believe that there are not
enough opportunities to interact with one another outside of school, and that
students and faculty could learn and benefit from interacting with and
listening to each other’s experiences.

Furthermore,
I would like to expand my role as Professional Development Chair by developing
an outreach program that presents occupational therapy to high schools and
colleges in the Los Angeles area. My
goal is to impart an understanding of the job of an occupational therapist,
with the hope that these students will be able to explain and will therefore be
able to promote the profession to others.
I am an excellent candidate for the Professional Development Chair due
to my effective communication skills, enthusiasm, and my competency in
organizing successful events. I enjoy working
with a large group and am confident that my previous years of team experience
have taught me the necessary skills to be an essential member of OTSC. Fight on!
International Relations Chair
Anastasia Malysheva
I am applying for this position because I am very
interested in how Occupational Therapy is practiced worldwide. Moreover, as I learn about Occupational
Therapy in different countries, I would like to share my knowledge with other
students. I am sure that in order to be a
successful practitioner of the Occupational Therapy, a therapist must continuously
educate him or herself by learning about new research findings in all areas applicable
to the practice. Staying informed about
international practice of the Occupational Therapy is one of the ways a
therapist can contribute to his or her overall professional knowledge. My extensive interest about the Occupational
Therapy in the world is also due to the fact that I was born in Russia, one of
the countries where this profession is underrepresented.
I have moved to the United States to pursue my
educational goals. After receiving a
bachelor’s of arts degree in Information Systems from California State
University, Northridge, I worked in the legal field for several years. But I was always certain that I must continue
my education in the graduate school.
Field of the Occupational Therapy relates closely to what I enjoy doing
in life the most which is helping others.
Amongst my professional skills and knowledge that I
believe would be useful in the position of the International Relations Chair, I
would like to point out my positive attitude and commitment to ethical values, ability
to multitask in diverse and dynamic environments, ability to analyze, plan,
organize and implement solutions as well as outstanding computer literacy.
Historian
My name is
Laurel McMillan. I grew up in Tucson, Arizona, and graduated from the
University of San Diego in May 2012 with a degree in psychology. I was drawn to
occupational therapy because of the opportunity to work closely with people and
help them improve their daily lives. I believe I can make a positive contribution
as a compassionate, caring therapist who also values a high level of
professional skill.
My name is Amanda Panotes and I would
be honored to serve as your OTSC Historian for the Class of 2014. I hail from
the great state of Washington where I received a B.S. in Psychology from
Seattle Pacific University. During my undergraduate years, I held several
leadership positions that have shaped my readiness to become a great learner, a
great occupational therapist, and a great historian. As a Hall Publicist at SPU,
my primary roles were in managing all public relations between my council and
outside organizations, and in utilizing media outlets like poster publications
and videography. In my year as a Resident Assistant, I created a
living-learning residential community and developed educational programs and
social events. In both of these positions, I worked in collaboration with
peers, supervisors, and residents to foster a welcoming environment for all.

I am also
dedicated to building strong working relationships within the field of
occupational therapy, and advancing a wider appreciation of our role in the
healthcare system. I would like to share these interests through participation
in the occupational therapy and science council, specifically for the position
of historian.
I was
involved in many organizations and clubs during my undergraduate years and was
always an active participant. I would stay committed to OTSC and strive to do a
great job of documenting all events. I would also be conscientious of including
everyone possible in the documentation. Additionally, I have worked on
slideshows in some of my previous positions and feel competent in my skills to
produce a wonderful and encompassing presentation. Finally, I am a responsible
and organized individual, and the OTSC media would be in good hands.

For two years, I was employed as an
Administrative Assistant in a student counseling center. My job was to keep the
bustling center running smoothly; I facilitated meetings, schedules, office
redesign, and event planning. My colleagues designated me as the resident historian
for department gatherings because of my passion for photography. As a hobby, I
have become well versed in design programs like Photoshop, MS Publisher, and
iMovie. All of these previous experiences and skills have molded me into a
reliable, dynamic, and detail oriented team member. If chosen as OTSC
Historian, I am ready and excited to strengthen the way occupational therapy
presents itself to USC and the wider community.
Philanthropy/Community Service Chair
I would like
to contribute to our Division, our University, and our Community by bringing my
knowledge and experience in non-profit event-planning to our Occupational
Therapy Student Council. I am running
for Philanthropy / Community Service Chair.
I came to be a part of your community from New York, where I was a
program administrator at NYU for seven years.
I was responsible for representing my division to others at the
University and to outside organizations, and for collaborating with these
organizations to offer mutually beneficial programs – our students with our
mission, their employees and their mission, working together to benefit our community.

As future
Occupational Therapists we have important values in common. We seek to help, to enable, to give to
others; and we want to do more than simply receive information about doing
these things professionally – we want to practice, to participate, to be
active! But let’s face it - we’re pretty consumed by our studies.
Let me help you get involved. As
Community Service Chair I will organize events for your community
participation. I will poll you for your
community interests as well as for potential populations and settings to serve
(there are so many who could use our help, right here in East Los Angeles!). I appreciate your vote of confidence and I
will not let you down. Yayyy commUNITY!
Faculty Liaison/Student Needs and Development
Michael W.
Gragnani
Please, call
me Mikey. I am a first year MA-II student, ultimately working towards my OTD in
2015, and I am running for Faculty Liaison/Student Needs and Development. While completing my B.S. in Neurobiology at
UC Irvine, I had the opportunity to serve as IRB Research Coordinator for UCI’s
Department of Emergency Ultrasound Research for two years as well as Vice
President and President for Alpha Epsilon Delta, the pre-health
pre-professional honor society. Before volunteering and working with Karate For
All, an OT based martial arts program for children, I was a medical scribe at
Children’s Hospital of Orange County for the Division of Cardiology. It was
here where Occupational Therapy finally found me in the form of a dysphagia
specialist. As a Phi Beta Kappa alumnus, I embody a well-rounded individual
committed to scholarship, community, and service with much experience working
alongside both administration and colleagues alike. I will draw upon my past
student-body, clinical, and research experience to work with you and for you
and ensure that the continued development and improvement of the nation’s
number one Occupational Therapy program is also student-directed and in
accordance with the Centennial Vision. I will listen. I will voice. I will
rally for our needs as students of this school and of Occupational Therapy. No
needs are too small; no questions are too irrelevant, and best of all – I have
no shame and very much look forward to addressing them.
Rob Russow
Hello, my
name is Rob and I am running for Faculty Liaison. I’m considered by many to be
a Pisces although it doesn’t weigh that heavily on my mind. My least favorite
Law of Physics is, “What comes up, must come down.” Gravity isn’t all that
impressive – I’d rather just stay up. In my mind, there is nothing more
pleasing than biting into the crunchy softness of aged gouda cheese. One time I
asked for gouda on a burger at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the middle of
nowhere, Illinois. They looked at me like I was crazy. Voters be warned: I
probably am. If you know how to baste an egg, come tell me (even if you didn’t
vote for me). I’ll be impressed. It’s a lost art these days. I’ve got a dollar
for the first person who can deliver to me a well-basted egg. And no, that
doesn’t constitute a bribe. To be fair, my schedule is pretty busy this
semester, so I’m hoping I’ll have time to fulfill my duties in this office if I
get elected. My involvement with the Ping Pong Posse has my Wednesday nights
booked and you will likely find me fly fishing for carp in the LA river on more
than one occasion over the next few weeks (don’t let me down guy at Orvis).
Thank you all for being great classmates. I hope you vote for the person best
suited for the job, not the sanest.
Jen Sprawls
Before starting the Occupational
Therapy Masters program at USC, I found it remarkable that every time I came in
contact with an OT, I felt uniquely drawn to them. In my previous job as a preschool teacher for
children with special needs, our student's therapists often came in to assess
the classroom environment and make suggestions to help the child become
successful. I connected with these
therapists the same way that I related to my own sister's OT when she received
services as a little girl. There seemed
to be a mutual understanding between us that we were all involved in helping
the child as much as possible to enjoy their young life though meaningful play
and socialization. As I started with
classes this summer, I noticed a similar feeling of admiration for my
professors. Not only does the faculty
embody everything that it means to be an OT, but they dedicate their lives to
passing on their passion for the profession to the students.Some of my favorite times over the summer were spent talking to my professors after class and asking questions during office hours. I will never forget how thoroughly they addressed my concerns and clarified any confusion about the material. As the faculty liaison, I would get the opportunity to work closely with the staff that I so enthusiastically revere. I would also be able to effectively communicate the student's perspective to the faculty by collaborating with my classmates.
ASD Representative (Assembly of Student Delegates for AOTA)
Mazelle Dadon
Hi!
For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Mazelle Dadon and I am running
for the ASD Representative position. As our student representative for all
things AOTA, I want to bridge the gap between our class, student and faculty
within our USC community, and throughout the country. Networking is something that is always talked
about but sometimes hard to accomplish. As the ASD Rep, I would attend the National
Student Conclave as well as the AOTA National Convention. I would create a
social networking system, using Facebook, to be able to connect with peers I
meet at these conventions. This will
allow for USC students to become instantly connected with
our future colleagues to discuss relevant educational or clinical topics, as
well as social bonds. How convenient
would it be to swap apartments with another OT student in America for fieldwork
IIs? I want to encourage AOTA to have
more events in our community that focus on specific areas of interest and/or
research for our student body. I have
had experience being the voice of the students while collaborating directly
with faculty in research settings. By working
with a variety of people in professional venues, I have developed the necessary
tools to effectively communicate the opinions of our class to the AOTA at a
national level. I am committed and I can
ensure that AOTA becomes a more active part of our USC program. Lastly, I will
be sure to share my USC pride. Fight On!
Christina Ho
My name is Christina Ho, and I would love to the
opportunity to represent the USC OS and OT student body as the student delegate
to AOTA.
I graduated from UCSD with a B.A. in Environmental
Systems with an emphasis in Environmental Policy and a minor in Economics. As
an undergraduate, I volunteered as a museum interpreter and assistant summer
camp counselor at the Stephen Birch Aquarium. Prior to coming to USC, I worked
in the Program Management section of the Storm Water Department of the City of
San Diego. My biggest responsibilities included: participating in public
education and outreach programs, assisting with the management of city wide
projects, and representing my department during coordination and collaboration meetings
with other departments, contractors, and jurisdictions.
I know that the skills I developed in my previous
representative roles will translate well into the role of student delegate to
AOTA. It is so important that as students and future practitioners our
perspectives and concerns are taken into consideration now. If elected, I
promise to be your voice and bring you as much information about AOTA
happenings as possible.
Colin Lenington
I
believe I have the skill set and personal attributes that will ensure
professional and successful representation of the OTSC and the entire USC OT
department to ASD and AOTA. I am
reliable, professional, organized, outgoing, and trustworthy. I am also an excellent listener and strong
communicator which will be critical for dialogue between OTSC/USC and ASD/AOTA.
Just
one small example; as Vice President and Captain for my Varsity Club Water Polo
team in college I had ample experience leading and representing my program to a
larger association. Each year I fought to ensure proper funding
and budgeting from the school and the athletic department. I also collaborated with other universities
and teams to create a balanced game schedule and travel plan. I achieved these tasks in a manner that
promoted a healthy relationship between my association and the larger student
body and our own and other universities.
I was professional and successful as evident by my 3 continuous terms in
office.
I am excited
at the opportunity to represent all of you.
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to stop me in the hall or send
me an email!
Thanks
for your vote!

OTAC Representative (Occupational Therapy Association of California)
Alyssa Concha
My name is Alyssa Concha, and I am running for the OTSC
OTAC Representative position. My background is in
Communication, and as a result I am very familiar and comfortable with public
speaking. I collaborated with faculty and professional groups regularly
throughout my undergraduate career. This collaboration has happened in various
contexts such as: teaching in the classroom, serving on various committees,
research, and conference presentations. I facilitated a Communication 101
course and co-taught an honors program course my senior year. I served as
Community Service Chair, President, then Senior advisor for the Honors Student
Advisory Council of UNM’s University Honors Program, which involved
coordinating community service events, professional networking events, serving
on a curriculum decision board for the Honors Program, and working to find ways
to accurately represent the student voice to the the department. In addition, I
have co-presented at the National Collegiate Honors Conference, Games Learning
& Society Conference, and OSET Conference.I also presented my own research at
the 2011 Southwest Regional Mentoring Conference. Through my various positions
and work I have gained experience collaborating with my peers, mentors, and
department heads to build progressive visions working toward strengthening
communities. I hope to have the opportunity to represent the OT & OS
Student Body and collaborate with both OTAC and USC students. 
Hi! My name is Carly Wasserman and I
am running for OTAC Representative. I am really excited about this position
because I feel passionate about current and future occupational therapists being
proactive within the medical community. We can work to achieve this by
promoting occupational therapy as an essential and viable career throughout our
political sphere. As future occupational therapists, it is crucial that we organize
and take action to make our voices heard. One of my goals is to develop a committee
that works to collaborate with our peers and our state level organization. Moreover,
my position as the Coordinator for the UCSB Wellness Program gave me experience
acting as a liaison between students and larger organizations. I was responsible
for coordinating student groups’ event planning with my undergraduate school’s
administration and faculty members. I learned how to utilize the communication
skills needed to clarify both parties’ perspectives when developing logistics
for events. I would use these skills in the OTAC position by working with peers
to figure out the best ways to promote student membership and the most
effective ways to make OTAC a meaningful organization for students to enjoy and
actively participate. In other words, YAY! Go OT!!!
