Tia was born and raised in Billings, MT; however, she has fallen in love with western Montana over the years and is very excited to be here in Deer Lodge. Tia received her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of Mary in 2016. She started my career in a pediatric outpatient clinic in Bozeman before transitioning to a rural hospital in Malta, MT where she was able to work with individuals of all ages as the only occupational therapist in the community. Tia is passionate about learning the individual needs of each client in order to best help them reach their full potential. She especially enjoys working with kiddos and their families. She is an active member of the Montana Occupational Therapy Association and the American Occupational Therapy Association. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, their son Wendel (2), and their dog Ava Mae. We love mountain biking, camping, hunting, skiing- anything outdoors!
