About Me

As a dedicated and ambitious speech-language pathologist since 2010, I have a passion for empowering children and adults to surmount communication obstacles and ascend to her peak- communication potential. I have practiced in public, private, and religious grade schools and high schools, skilled nursing facilities, private clinics, and hospital-affiliated pediatric clinics, including Texas Children's Sugarland Specialty Care Center from April 2024-2026. With a strong desire to serve communities abroad, I have volunteered alongside medical students, physicians, dentists, and other health professionals during a medical mission trips to the Galapagos Islands in 2025 and to the Philippines in 2026 and participated in a 26-day speech-language therapy Spanish immersion program in Costa Rica in 2017. I have ample experience treating teenagers and young adults with cognitive-linguistic and social communication challenges impacted by an acquired brain injury, autism spectrum disorder, non-verbal learning disability, developmental trauma, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Strongly committed to incorporating hands-on and real-world activities into treatment plans, I endeavor to empower clients to capitalize upon their communicative and cognitive-linguistic strengths to fully access and actively participate in social, religious, community, and vocational activities. With a lifelong love of animals, I volunteered as an animal handler and docent, have volunteered abroad at wildlife organizations (including the Belize Zoo), and have integrated animal-assisted therapy into my practice with my pet blue-tongue skink. I have participated in a mentorship through the SOS Approach to Feeding, obtained a certification through the Academy of Oral-facial Myofunctional Disorders, and am currently pursuing a clinical doctorate degree in speech-language pathology through NOVA Southeastern University.

I am committed to provide extensive caregiver education and enlisting caregiver involvement, ensuring that progress continues beyond our sessions. My diverse experience allows me to draw from multiple therapeutic techniques, giving clients the comprehensive support they need to surmount communication challenges.
