Dr. Glasgo received her PhD in Occupational Science in 2025 from UNC Chapel Hill, where she was funded through a Department of Education grant supporting young children with significant disabilities. She enjoys interdisciplinary collaboration and loves to bring an occupational perspective to research. Her most current research endeavor is a project with the nonprofit Feeding Matters, which focuses on supporting children with pediatric feeding disorder and their families.
Prior to her PhD, Dr. Glasgo worked as a pediatric occupational therapist in a variety of settings. While working in school feeding, she became interested in the ways that large systems shape individual occupation, which is a thread throughout her research.
She is passionate about state and federal policies that impact individuals with disabilities, and she aims to support students in understanding and interrogating the role of the OT in policy. She has interned with the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities and the U.S. Office of Special Education Programs, where she gained experience and skills in policy analysis and communication.
Dr. Glasgo is committed to building relationships among communities, a value that is present in her teaching philosophy. She encourages students to explore new perspectives and share their growth along the way.
