Meet the Alumni: Deborah LoParco Smith
Program/Year:
Occupational Therapy 1978
What I’m doing now: After 25+ years of practicing pediatric OT and raising 4 children, I am pursuing other interests — helping out in church (music for children’s ministry) and possibly helping my husband start a new business.
My favorite UF memory: Riding my bike down the “big” hill leading to Shands to attend my OT classes (in the basement). Also attending concerts outside Reitz Union.
People would be surprised to know: I love football! (not just Gator football) I will watch pro football all day on Sundays without my husband. Of course, there is nothing like the excitement of attending a live Gator game.
Family: Husband Craig, married for 27 years. Children Jennifer, Jessica, Courtney and Craig
In the future I hope to: Travel to Europe, Australia and South America
