Marion Russell is originally from Berlin, Germany, and relocated to Omaha August 2018 where she took a position as an assistant professor in the occupational therapy department at Creighton University. Before moving back to Germany in 2015, she enjoyed the Maine coastline in Portland for 7 years after finishing her Bachelor of Arts in English Literature at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. Her clinical experience is predominantly in pediatric feeding and eating behavior disorders, but when she practiced in Germany, she was able to see clients across the life span. She is NDT certified through the European Bobath Association and obtained the AOTA specialty certification in feeding, eating, and swallowing in 2015. Her scholarly work focuses on the impact of enteral feeding on family mealtime routine, occupational therapy’s role in hospice care, and health disparities experienced by transgender clients and type 1 diabetes. She continues to juggle different time zones since she is still working for an Interdisciplinary Therapy Center in Graz, Austria providing telemedical services to families with children on feeding tubes.
