Getting To Know Sharmin<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sharmin Tiu-Curcio, OTR\/L
\nOccupational Therapist\/Owner<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello, I want to introduce myself.\u00a0 <\/strong>My story isn\u2019t filled with glitz and glamour like a Hollywood celebrity. Instead, it\u2019s similar to countless other immigrants currently residing in the United States.\u00a0 When we think of the United States, we\u2019ll likely imagine a land with opportunity, innovation, the American Dream<\/em>, excess, and the like.\u00a0 Like many other children growing up overseas, I desired a better life, and the United States offered this. Okay, but how would I get there? Again, like so many other children growing up in another country, you can carve a path to the United States by entering the medical field. With healthcare in continual high demand, with my natural attachment to arts, crafts, and generally working with my hands creatively, studying occupational therapy seemed like a no-brainer. Most importantly, I yearned for a career that involved working directly with people. Instantly, I fell in love with my studies. In other words, that little girl\u2019s imagination turned into a beautiful reality, and I\u2019m thankful that she didn\u2019t give up. I have been practicing for over 15 years now. \u00a0Opening my own practice has been a dream.\u00a0 Helping people recover is rewarding.\u00a0 I have extensive training in multiple settings such as;\u00a0 pediatrics (both school based and outpatient), adult subacute rehab, and home care. \u00a0I\u2019m very passionate about helping people reach their highest potential.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A little bit about myself.<\/strong>\u00a0 I am happily married to an\u00a0Italian\/Irish\/German who loves to cook. We both enjoy cooking.\u00a0 We love to watch cooking shows together and we try to recreate the recipes.\u00a0 Sometimes we modify the recipes.\u00a0 Some attempts are more successful than others.<\/p>\n

Our beloved pets are our children.\u00a0 We both love animals very much. \u00a0We have 3 Chihuahuas (Yoshi, Fuji, and Blobby),\u00a01 cat (Bezerko), a guinea pig (Piglet), and a fish tank.\u00a0 Each pet (child) has\u00a0their own story to tell.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also very active. I love MMA. I practice Muay Thai and Jiujitsu in my spare time. Both my husband and I do this together.\u00a0 It\u2019s good \u201ccouple\u2019s therapy\u201d. \u00a0We get to release our stress.\u00a0 We also like to take our dogs hiking. There\u2019s a place in PA we always go to, Ricketts Glenn – a state park with marvelous hiking trails with multiple waterfalls and a gorgeous lake. \u00a0We try to take our dogs everywhere \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one thing, which I\u2019d like to say to the next generation of little immigrant boys and girls, I\u2019ll say this: many may deem your dreams as unattainable, but you must keep in mind that it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n
