Sarah Pesch, MS, OTR/L

Hand Therapist, Reno

Sarah joined the Swift Institute team in 2023. A native of Madison, Wisconsin, she earned her Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee in 2015. She began her career in an outpatient hand therapy clinic, where she developed a strong foundation in treating orthopedic and neurological conditions affecting the upper extremity.

Sarah later worked as a traveling occupational therapist, gaining experience across a wide range of practice settings—from pediatrics to skilled nursing—in locations across the country. Her travels eventually brought her to Reno, where she was drawn to the area’s natural beauty and access to outdoor recreation.

Outside of work, Sarah enjoys backpacking, skiing, climbing, and mountain biking. She is also the proud dog mom to her pup, Sawyer.
