While in school, Loren participated in an NBCOT® educational challenge on Instagram by creating a short instructional video demonstrating the American Sign Language alphabet.

Shari Pittaro, COTA/L, brings over 24 years of occupational therapy expertise to everything she does, from direct patient care across sensory clinics, school-based environments, and mental health settings to shaping the next generation of OT professionals as an adjunct instructor, tutor, and program assistant at Suffolk County Community College, where she earned her degree. Her greatest strength lies in her ability to teach and mentor with genuine passion, guiding students through complex concepts until that defining "lightbulb moment" clicks. Outside of work, she is a devoted wife and mother of three teenage children, one of whom has chosen to follow in her footsteps in occupational therapy. It is a reflection of a life truly built around a profession she loves.
