To whom it may concern,

This letter is in reference to the Occupational Therapist position listed on

Residential Home Healths website. I am a graduating Occupational Therapy
student at Grand Valley State University, and I am seeking full-time employment
upon graduation in August 2017. My goal is to serve your patients using the skills
I have gained during my clinical and volunteer experiences at Grand Valley.

While in my role at Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital in Grand Rapids,

Michigan, I worked closely with patients to define their individual goals, and I
evaluated their progress through monthly check-ins. I successfully managed
treatment for up to eight patients each day, ensuring proper documentation was
completed in a timely manner. Additionally, at Covenant HealthCare in Saginaw,
Michigan, I wrote and received funding for a $400,000 grant for lift equipment for
adult and older clients, which is now being used to exponentially reduce the
amount of staff and client injuries acquired during transfers.

The position outlined would also allow me to contribute my clinical education,

research skills, and volunteer experience I have gained as an Occupational
Therapy student at Grand Valley. My active leadership and service roles,
including my participation as president and vice president in Grand Valleys
Occupational Therapy Associations, have also helped me develop strong
interpersonal and communication skills.

I am confident that these experiences will allow me to be a productive member of

your team, and I am eager to contribute my knowledge of occupational therapy
techniques to benefit your organization. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity
to discuss my enthusiasm for the Occupational Therapist position in an interview.
Please contact me anytime at (231)327-0133, or MichelleR1923@gmail.com.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Michelle Robinson
