Summary
Speech-language pathology has given me the opportunity to combine my love of helping others with my passion for building meaningful relationships. Throughout my graduate training and Clinical Fellowship, I have worked with children and adults across schools, outpatient clinics, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing settings. I strive to create therapy environments where patients and families feel comfortable, encouraged, and celebrated while receiving individualized, evidence-based care. I'm known for my positive attitude, strong work ethic, creativity, and collaborative approach, and I genuinely enjoy helping others find confidence through communication.
