About: Hi! I am Sarah Woodlief, but soon to be Sarah Ellstrom as I just got married this summer! This is my second year with WCPSS and I am excited to join the Washington family! This is my 4th year being a school OT but I also have experience in inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient pediatrics and home health. I love the schools and working with students in their natural environment to help them thrive! One of my favorite parts of my job is establishing relationships with teachers and students for a strong foundation of our work together. I strive to meet every student where they are and promote independence all while having fun! While not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, baking, reading and being outside.
