Today isn’t just my birthday—it’s a full-circle moment 🔄🎉

I came into this world early, tiny, and fighting 👶🏽💪🏾. Born a preemie, doctors weren’t sure if I’d ever walk or live a full life 🚼❌🚶🏽‍♀️. But God had other plans 🙌🏾. From the very beginning, I’ve been a fighter—and I didn’t do it alone. My mom, my family, my village… we pushed through together 🤎👩🏽‍👧🏽🙏🏾.

Now I’m not just celebrating another year of life—I’m celebrating the fact that I am officially Dr. Olivia Baker 👩🏽‍⚕️🎓✨

It still feels surreal 🥹. I’ve said it out loud a few times and caught myself smiling like, “Wow… we really did this” 😄💭. My heart is overflowing with gratitude—for the journey, the people who stood by me, and the grace that carried me through it all 💖⛰️🌈.

What really gets me is this: My very first doctoral lab was on my birthday—May 22, 2021 🧪🎂. That day was the beginning of something huge. And now here I am, on the other side of that story, celebrating the close of one of the most meaningful chapters of my life 📖🖋️.

So this year, I’m honoring the journey—from baby pics to my cap and gown 📸➡️🎓. From fragile beginnings to fierce purpose 🔥. From “we don’t know if she’ll make it” to “she made it and then some” 🤏🏾✨💅🏾.

I thank God for every step 👣, every setback 😔, every breakthrough ✨, every moment that shaped me 🌟. I’ll never take it for granted 🙏🏾❤️.

Cheers to new levels ⬆️, louder laughs 😂, deeper purpose 🧠, and the kind of joy that only comes when you know just how far you’ve come 🥂🎊.

Happy birthday to meee!!! 🥳🎈🎁🎉

Now introducing… Dr. Olivia Baker, OTD! 👩🏽‍🎓😍 🎉

Whew… it’s been a LONG 4 years 😅! Late nights, early mornings, endless research papers and lab practicals, study sessions with my awesome classmates, and just a few emotional rollercoaters later 😂😉… here I am! This journey has been one of sacrifice, resilience, and faith, and let me tell you—it tested all three! But through the ups and downs, I kept pushing, and I wouldn’t trade the lessons I’ve learned for anything.

Balancing my doctorate while working as a pediatric occupational therapy assistant was not easy, but it was a blessing. For 4 years, I got to help kids thrive while pushing myself to grow, both personally and professionally. Now, I’m beyond excited to step into the world of hand therapy and take my career to the next level! 🖐🏾 ❤️

This next chapter is all about growth—academically, emotionally, spiritually, and personally—and I can’t wait to see what’s ahead. It’s been a wild ride, but I’m ready for this new adventure!

To my family, friends, and colleagues—thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support, encouragement, and pep talks (and for putting up with my “I can’t, I have homework” excuses for FOUR years 😂). Y’all kept me going, and I couldn’t have done it without you!

Here’s to new beginnings, big dreams, and making an impact—one hand and heart at a time! 🙌🏾✨ .
