Week 8:
The End of the Beginning
August 7, 2020 | The eighth and final week of my fellowship has come and gone, but the impact this experience has had on me will stay forever. My last week at MPO was packed full. At the office we had a week full of projects to work on, there were two below knee sockets that were a rush […]
Week 7:
Making the Most of It
July 26, 2020 | Week seven is behind me and in the back of my mind all week was that the end of my fellowship was approaching. Knowing this, I wanted to make the most of every moment both at the office and during my last weekend in Washington! I have had experiences in the past where in the […]
Week 6:
An Exciting Week
July 19, 2020 | I want to start this week by wrapping up the AFO project with the big lift that I introduced last week. The fabrication went very well and the final brace fit the patient and helped her mobility. She will come in for a follow-up in a couple weeks to address any issues that may have […]
Week 5:
Attention to Detail
July 12, 2020 | Another week has passed and left me filled with joy, confidence, and reassurance.

July 5, 2020 | Four weeks done and four more to go! We had a very busy week at the office wanting to deliver the projects we were working on to give patients the opportunity for a more mobile Fourth of July. For me, this meant there was a lot to learn and a chance to show my growth. […]
Week 3:
Flourishing in Washington
June 27, 2020 | My third week has come to a close and it feels like my first day at MPO was only yesterday. Time really does fly when you are having fun. I am building a strong foundation of knowledge and understanding in prosthetics and orthotics and am becoming more competent in the office. I truly believe that […]
Week 2:
Learning as I Go
June 21, 2020 | Hello again! As I write this I am sitting at a picnic table in the beautiful Manchester State Park. To my left I can see the forest with many trails hiding between the trees. To my right is the Rich Passage, a popular place for ferries to pass by. I could not pick a better […]
Week 1:
A Week of New Adventures
June 12, 2020 | Welcome aboard on my Fellowship journey! This was my first week interning at Maughan Prosthetics & Orthotics (MPO), a local business here in Washington state that is dedicated to building better lives for their patients. I found MPO last summer while on vacation in Washington with my family. It stood out to me above other […]
