Mia Beveridge
I'm currently a student in Touro University Nevada's Occupational Therapy Program (MSOT). I also have a Bachelor of Science in Human Services from the University of Northern Colorado's College of Natural & Health Sciences.
I have worked with older adults as a CNA, and as a behavioral health specialist I worked with elementary-age children.
During my Level I Fieldwork I worked at Nevada Early Intervention Services, Southern Nevada Adult Mental Health, and Mesa View Physical Therapy. During my Level II Fieldwork worked with students at the Clark County School District.
