Kelsey James

Regional Recruiter | COTA

United States

About

I began my career in occupational therapy, spending over a decade as a COTA and more than 7 years as a Director of Rehabilitation. That experience gave me a deep understanding of what therapy professionals truly need to thrive and the value of transparency, support, and strong leadership in the workplace. Today, I bring that perspective into recruiting, where I connect therapy professionals with opportunities that align with their goals, values, and strengths. Having been on the clinical side, I understand both the rewards and the challenges, and I’m passionate about helping clinicians find roles where they feel supported, valued, and empowered to grow. If you’re exploring new opportunities or just curious to hear more about what else is out there, I’d love to connect.
