Faculty - Occupational Therapy

Kimberly received her BS in occupational therapy from the University of New England and her MS in occupational therapy from the University of New Hampshire. Kim's doctoral work was completed at Rocky Mountain University. Her primary interests are in psychiatric occupational therapy and management. In addition to her full-time faculty position in the Husson Occupational Therapy Program, she contracts with Mountain View Youth Development Center in Charleston, Maine and provides per diem work for RehabCare in local rehabilitation facilities. She is a member of several local advisory boards. She is also actively involved in the state and national occupational therapy associations.

My idea of education is based on the belief that learning is an active process. I work very hard to provide students with an environment that they can be engaged in and assist them in taking an increased responsibility for their own learning. This is consistent with the philosophy of occupational therapy, which says that students are occupational beings who are active, capable, self-directed creators of their own learning. Husson's OT program fosters students to become professionals who engage in lifelong learning.

Christine has been an occupational therapist for 20 years, beginning in MA and then moving to ME in 1993. Her clinical practice includes pediatrics and psychiatry. Hubbard had the opportunity to begin her teaching career at KVCC in the OTA program. She then spent some time teaching at Lewiston Auburn College, USM. Christine joined the Husson Occupational Therapy faculty in September 2006 to teach pediatrics. She lives with her husband, 2 children, and 5 horses southwest of Bangor.

I joined the faculty at Husson because I have found it to be an exciting and dynamic environment where students and faculty learn and develop together.
