I am a new graduate Speech Language Pathologist taking some time off from work to care for my 3-month-old daughter. During this time, I am also available to provide care for your special needs or typically developing child. With my Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology, I have experience in working with children with communicative disorders, alternative and augmentative communication devices, and Autism Spectrum Disorders of all ages. Additionally, I have a sister with Cerebral Palsy who uses a wheelchair. The care of my sister has given me a unique set of experiences in providing care for someone with special needs, and my love for her has fueled a passion for working with and advocating for children of all levels of abilities.
