Hi! My name is Rachel Silverman and I am a research assistant for UConn KIDS. I am a junior Allied Health Major with a double minor in Psychology and American Sign Language. My career goal is to become a Pediatric Occupational Therapist. I have always had a passion for working with children and knew that it was something that I wanted to tie into my future career.

Some fun facts about me I am from Tinton Falls, NJ. I love the beach, it is my absolute happy place. I have a dog named Pudding! I love to travel, I had the opportunity to go to Italy, France, and Greece this past summer. It was amazing! I volunteer for an early intervention program where I was introduced to the world of Occupational Therapy and instantly fell in love. Learning about childhood development is something I learned that I am passionate about and am always eager to learn more.
