Over the past 12 weeks, Encore Rehabilitation has had the pleasure of working with Terra Crews, a Doctor of Occupational Therapy student from The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Terra joined us for her clinical rotation and quickly became a valued part of our team.
Originally from Samson, Alabama, Terra brought a bright energy, strong work ethic, and a genuine passion for helping others into every patient interaction. Throughout her rotation, she demonstrated not only clinical growth but also a clear dedication to becoming a compassionate, skilled Occupational Therapist.
Terra is set to graduate this December with her OTD, and we are confident she will go on to make a lasting impact in the world of occupational therapy. Whether working alongside patients to regain function or collaborating with interdisciplinary teams, Terra’s ability to lead with empathy and professionalism will serve her well in the field.
We’re so proud of all you’ve accomplished, Terra! Thank you for sharing your time, your heart, and your talents with us. We wish you the very best as you finish your studies and take the next steps toward becoming an amazing Occupational Therapist!
