LLA Spotlight: Gay Himelright
We have amazing therapists at LLA and want to showcase them to you! This week, meet Gay Himelright!
Gay is an Occupational Therapist who has been with LLA since 2011! She serves students at Edge Academy and Akros Middle School in Akron. Previously, she has worked at several other school sites, home health sites, and the Fairlawn office. She became a therapist because she found occupational therapy to be so interesting; it seemed like a blend of science and social work. One of her favorite things about being a therapist is making a difference for others and that there is always something new to learn!
