Summary

My name is Ella Cooke. I am currently a final year Speech Pathology student at Curtin University, with expected graduation in February 2024. I have an Australian C class drivers license, a current working with children check, NDIS Worker Screener Check in addition to First Aid and CPR certifications. With my career as a Speech Pathologist set to commence in 2024, I am seeking a role that provides a strong support network and guidance during the transition from being a student. I am looking to work in the paediatric setting, 0-18 years. I enjoy providing treatment in all contexts; schools, home and at the clinic. I look forward to discussing this role further with you.
