Meet Brittany Robles Jimenez, a 1st-year Occupational Therapy Doctoral student here at Western!
As a proud first-gen student, Brittany chose WOU for the immediate support she felt from day one. Now she’s on her way to becoming an occupational therapist, hoping to serve Spanish-speaking ...communities right here in Oregon!
From being a Campus Ambassador, working with New Student & Family Programs, to getting involved with Unidos, Natural Science Club, and the tennis club, she has done it all!
Her favorite things? Tree lighting traditions, OT theory class, and studying at Luna’s Café with a good cafecito.
We're so lucky to have you in the Wolf Pack, Brittany!
