Who This Is For

New Graduates & Clinical Fellows

You've completed your degree and clinical rotations, but now you're facing real-world decisions: Should you take that school position or try medical SLP? Is private practice even possible right out of the gate? How do you negotiate your first contract?

Workshops & Professional Development

Beyond individual services, I offer targeted workshops and professional development opportunities for SLPs, graduate programs, school districts, and healthcare organizations. These sessions draw from my diverse expertise across clinical practice, cultural-linguistic competence, and career development.
