The majority of my professional experience has been in public school settings as a Speech Language Pathologist providing in-person and virtual speech therapy services to school aged students. I enhanced my managerial skills in clinical leadership roles which required proficient use of independent decision making skills, development of workflows and organizational efficiency. I developed supportive relationships with clinicians and clinical colleagues through my collaborative and solution-focused mindset. Through my passion of engaging and teaching fellow clinicians, I planned, developed and conducted continuing education courses related to speech therapy and literacy.
