My name is Mukta Gandhi. I am very excited to join the Psychology Works Family as an Office Manager.

I have 14+ years in the rehab world dealing with many aspects of business such as payroll, accounts payable, receivables, hiring, training, relationship building with MVA adjusters, WSIB adjudicators and legal teams.

I like to challenge myself with new things and learn from different experiences of those around me. I like to create a collaborative and inclusive environment that leads to efficiencies  in the flow of the clinic.
