Hi, I'm Emily! I am a contract occupational therapist this year with SPS and have worked as a contract/travel therapist in schools for the past 3 years. I worked in Kansas, North Carolina, and Nevada before coming to Seattle. I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and went to Gannon University in Erie, PA for my bachelor's and master's degrees. I love getting to work with new students and experience different cities each year as I travel!

My name is Minda Tochihara and I am so excited to be a part of your school as the school psychologist. My favorite thing about being a school psychologist is helping students learn more about how their brains work and what their strengths are. When I’m not at work, I like spending time with my kids, being in nature, reading, and baking.
