Bio

My name is Suet Lim, and I am a CHT at Morristown, NJ. I was born and raised in Hong Kong and came to the United States for college to pursue my dream. Without speaking much English and experiencing culture shock, I had to work extra hard to overcome obstacles such as being the only foreign student in my OT class. I brought a tape recorder to every class and listened to each lecture over a thousand times at home! Unfortunately, not all the professors were helpful, and I faced some tough moments. I just kept moving on and finally graduated with an honors degree in Occupational Therapy at NLU. Then, I found a job in Texas and chose to work towards my graduate degree at the same time. I became passionate about Hand therapy and decided to be a Certified Hand therapist. Due to my husband’s job, we relocated to London in the UK and lived there from 2006-2008. Traveling to many countries broadened my insight and connected me to people which helped me to better treat my patients. My past experiences taught me to not give up easily and to perform at my best for my patients. I will enjoy every moment while treating my patients and overcoming all my challenges.
