Today is being your Grade 9’er to work day! I will be showing them how to take a cast for the making of a prosthetic finger (keeping it fun but simple) lol

Completed my week at Calgary hosting a prosthetic running clinic with my Team. It was amazing seeing first timers wear a running blade for the first time and learn how to run in them. A beautiful and fun sight to see. People regaining mobility in ways they never envisioned ✨

I tell myself everyday that I love my job until I don’t. It has its challenges, but honestly? I worked so hard to get here. A combined years of education and working in the field. It’s been worth it.

Rica 101 Prosthetics 💭 Want to see something cool? Here are pre-made silicone nails made by my Team. We use them as samples when practitioners want custom silicone partial hands or fingers made. They will send us a photo via email and we will use them as reference for choosing the right colour and shape. Here are some I chose this morning!

I’ve started enjoying working with silicone prosthetic feet 👣 but I still don’t like real feet? Lol how ironic. It’s Friday y’all!

I just added my Farcaster rewards to my prosthetic design mission! Despite my expectations being ambitious I will continue to share my story and my work! I am working towards building my own prosthetic designs that will be more inclusive and accessible to users who need it 🩷 every once if support matters!
