Summary

With over 20 years of clinical and professional experience, I am a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist known for my expertise in working with children who have diverse range of developmental disorders and delays, with a specific interest in the area of Dysphagia and paediatric feeding disorders. My bilingual ability in Modern Greek enhances my communication skills, making me highly attuned to and with culturally diverse groups and service provision. I excel in mentoring new professionals and implementing innovative therapy resources, demonstrating my commitment to clinical excellence and collaborative success. My recent experience in working as a sole trader has further developed my awareness of business practices related to the field of Speech Pathology. In addition, clinically my current role has further fueled my desire to deliver creative services to not only a broader age range of clients but also a more diverse group of families and client. I am eager to bring my clinical skills back to an allied health team and build upon my own professional and leadership competencies.
