Thrash discovered her passion for culture and language while on medical leave for being struck by a car while walking in a cross walk.

She used her occupational therapy skills on herself and searched for purposeful and meaningful activity to assist with her physical rehabilitation and emotional coping of the accident.

While off work for two years, she developed and published Common Phrase Translation: Spanish for English Speakers for Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Speech Therapy, and launched the development of continuing education.

She also initiated her post-professional study at San Jose State University's online post-professional MSOT program.

She is grateful to be able to work again, and for the opportunity to bring her creative works to the field of rehabilitation.
