Libbie Warren

Occupational Therapy

Libbie Warren grew up in the southeast, moving between Virginia and North Carolina. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Appalachian State University, where she developed a strong interest in inclusive care for those with disabilities and a deep love for the outdoors. Occupational therapy school and a desire for grander mountains brought her to Salt Lake City where she is in her second year of the University of Utah's Doctor of Occupational Therapy program. 

Libbie has a broad range of work experience including kayak guiding in Maine, baking, hippotherapy, forest school instructing, teaching swim lessons, and nannying kids with special needs. She is interested in working in pediatrics and integrating her interest and knowledge of outdoor recreation through areas like nature-based therapy, adaptive sports and aquatic therapy.  Outside of school, Libbie enjoys backpacking, snowboarding, baking, swimming, and traveling anywhere she can spend time in nature. 

Libbie is excited to be a part of URLEND to deepen her understanding of specific neurodevelopmental disabilities and gain interdisciplinary training that will help her better advocate for inclusive and quality services for her patients in the future.
