Tritney Nguyen is a postdoctoral researcher bringing a clinical occupational therapy background to employment research for people with disabilities. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from the University of Southern California, and hold specialized certification in Ayres Sensory Integration, focusing on how sensory processing shapes daily activities and occupational performance. Her experience spans outpatient pediatrics from early childhood to transition-age youth, higher education accommodations support, a global externship in South Korea studying assistive technology and rehab systems, and a doctoral capstone with the USC Autism Initiative. In her current postdoc role, she is interested in exploring how sensory processing, grassroots DIY assistive technology, and community makerspaces drive innovation in disability employment.
