SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST, FEEDING SPECIALIST

I recently completed my Clinical Fellowship in Speech-Language Pathology. Before coming to Texas, I grew up in New Jersey. I spent my whole life on the east coast. I am learning so much about the south. During my time on the east coast, I enjoyed going to the beach, hanging out with my friends, and babysitting. I received my bachelor's degree from Ithaca College in upstate New York where the weather is way different than it is down here! Then I completed my master's degree at the University of Delaware. I had the opportunity for some awesome clinical placements while getting my degrees. I have experience providing speech therapy in a headstart preschool classroom, an inpatient rehab center, an outpatient hospital clinic, and lots of telehealth experience. When completing telehealth appointments, I found great interest in childhood apraxia of speech and early childhood language. As things progressed, I had the opportunity to complete these therapies face to face. This helped me not only become more flexible but increase my parent education skills as they became teachers over telehealth. I have a special interest in child language and believe that children learn through two outlets; play and movement. I strive to incorporate both of these in all of my treatment sessions. I am so excited to begin my journey here at Launch HTX and help kids and families reach their goals, shoot for the stars!
