Jamie Kortanek

Hi! My name is Jamie (they/them). I am a first-year OTD-PhD student, which means that I am pursuing training in both occupational therapy and occupational science. I am interested in investigating behavioral and brain-based predictors of sensorimotor features, daily living skills, and quality of life across neurotype and developmental time. Clinically, I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent and disabled people in accessing activities that are meaningful to them. My special interests outside the lab include critical disability studies and neuro-inclusive community building. I also love poetry and my guinea pig, Billie.
