Lisete B. Carnicer COTA/L
KU Miami Occupational Therapy Assistant Graduate
“Attending Keiser University has been the most rewarding experience of my professional career. Prior to Keiser I was in Accounting and a stay at home mom. I graduated in 2010 as a COTA and was immediately hired by one of the clinics where I did an internship. I really love what I do and have used the knowledge from school and the internship experience to advance my career. I gained 4 years of experience before opening up my own pediatric clinic in 2014.
I currently employ six Keiser graduates and continually take interns from KU Pembroke Pines. I am also on the Advisory Board at Keiser. I feel very fortunate to have picked this career where I can make a difference in the lives of children with special needs.
Overall being a Keiser graduate has given me all the necessary tools and experience to become a very successful therapist. The Keiser OTA program really does prepare you for what employers are looking for in a COTA.”
My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.
