Our Latest Field Staff Recognition Winner
Preferred Healthcare Staffing is proud to recognize Sophia K., a dedicated Occupational Therapist currently serving at a skilled nursing facility in beautiful Santa Barbara, California.
Sophia was nominated by her recruiter, Shae Leal, in recognition of her continued commitment to PHS since beginning her journey with us in 2023. Throughout her assignments, she has consistently demonstrated professionalism, strong communication skills, and an exceptional work ethic.
Both our client partners and our internal team truly value working with Sophia. Her reliability, positivity, and dedication to patient care make her a standout clinician and a wonderful representative of Preferred. This recognition is incredibly well deserved, and we are grateful to have her as part of the PHS family.
Why Sophia Loves Being an Occupational Therapist
“I love being an OT because I get to help people reclaim the parts of life that matter most to them. This job allows me to connect with patients each day and help them find creative ways to achieve their goals and gain confidence in their everyday lives.
I have always been drawn to occupational therapy, as many of my life experiences have been shaped by the people closest to me needing OT services to overcome barriers and improve their quality of life. It is incredibly rewarding to know that I can make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives by building trust and empowering them to achieve what once may have seemed impossible.”
