Amy Andrews

Amy Andrews originally came to Delaware Tech so she could stay close to her family and complete college debt-free, but she stayed for a different reason: "I stayed at Delaware Tech because of the friends I made, committed teachers, and the accredited allied health programs I discovered."

The occupational therapy assistant (OTA) program seemed like the perfect fit for Amy. "It's the perfect combination of science, psychology, and healthcare. I knew the challenging classes would help me to push myself academically, while the clinical training would teach me to be more compassionate and confident."

Since coming to Delaware Tech, Amy has seen her confidence grow in many different areas. "I can now confidently lead and teach groups of students, and I love interacting with everyone I meet on campus. I have learned to trust myself and look forward to my future because I am more capable than I realize."

Amy fondly remembers her time as a New Student Orientation leader on campus. "It was such a fun opportunity to get to know the other leaders and to welcome new students."

After graduation, Amy plans to go straight into the workforce. "My OTA degree will allow me to get my certification, which will make me completely ready for a job in my field!" Amy hopes to work in a pediatric setting, getting kids ready for successful futures.
