Summary

I am a dedicated Graduate Speech Pathologist with a strong passion for empowering individuals to enhance communication abilities, boost self-esteem, and foster meaningful relationships within the community. I have experience in various areas of Speech Pathology Practice, including Motor-speech disorders, Language Disorders, Acquired communication disorders, Dysphagia, and early childhood speech and language disorders. My clinical placements have expanded knowledge of the Speech Pathology profession and provided valuable experience working with individuals with disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual Disability, Cerebral Palsy, and Down Syndrome. My professional experience in Aged Care facilities has honed my rapport-building skills and showcases my ability to deliver compassionate and person-centered care at a consistently high standard.
