About Me
I’ve been working in the field of speech and language therapy for over 12 years, and I’m passionate about helping children develop their literacy, language, social communication and executive functioning skills.
Since earning my Bachelor of Science in Speech and Language Therapy from Leeds Beckett University in 2013, I have gained experience in a variety of settings, including schools, private practice, and assessment clinics. I am a registered member of the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC (CHCPBC), Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Canada (SAC OAC), Speech and Hearing BC, and on the RASP list (Registry of Autism Providers).
