B.A., Journalism (2009) M.Ed., Curriculum and Instruction, specifically Out-of-School Time Learning (2011) M.S., Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy (2017) A 2017 graduate of the OS\/OT division, Sara<\/span> is a proud product of public education and is known for her work in school-based practice, as well as clinical instruction. With a background in education, Sara<\/span> has been a clinical educator for students from four different OT\/OTA programs, and feels the biggest compliment of being a practitioner is having her fieldwork students become coworkers and colleagues. Her role in fieldwork and admissions support focuses on the division\u2019s Novant initiative<\/a> to increase the presence of practitioners in the southeastern part of the state. As a practitioner, Sara<\/span> has experience in acute care (PRN), as well as extensive experience working in school-based practice, where she served on the preschool assessment team and in multiple elementary, middle and high schools. Sara<\/span> hopes to share her enthusiasm for fieldwork education with current (& future!) clinical educators throughout the state. When she is not in the office, Sara<\/span> finds inspiration listening to music, watching House Hunters International episodes and urban hiking with her family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Education: B.A., Journalism (2009) University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill M.Ed., Curriculum and Instruction, specifically Out-of-School Time Learning (2011) Lesley University M.S., Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy (2017) University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Marlys Mitchell scholarship recipient About Sara: A 2017 graduate of the OS\/OT division, Sara is a proud product of … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5605,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-5603","directory","type-directory","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","odd"],"acf":[],"_upd_display_name":["Sara Kelleher Pe\u00f1a"],"_upd_reverse_display_name":["Pe\u00f1a, Sara Kelleher"],"_upd_last_name":["Pe\u00f1a"],"_upd_first_name":["Sara"],"_upd_sortorder_override":[],"_upd_sortorder":["1"],"_upd_gallery_summary":[],"_upd_no_link":[],"_upd_degree1":[],"_upd_degree2":[],"_upd_email":[],"_upd_phone":[],"_upd_address":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/ocsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/directory\/5603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/ocsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/directory"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/ocsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/directory"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/ocsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/directory\/5603\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/ocsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/ocsci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
