My Story
Growing up, I loved helping people whether that be through work, volunteering, or throughout my typical day. I also loved learning foreign languages, because it opened up the doors to communicate with others when there was previously a barrier. Meshing the two together led me to Speech Pathology (which I can do bilingually). I could help people learn to communicate in a unique way, opening up the doors to greater independence and creating connections with the world and people around them.
My Blue Bird Day
Upon relocating to Chicago for my husband’s job, my search led me here. I found an organization that matched my passion for helping children discover their voice.
My Advocacy
Unrelated to Speech Pathology, my husband and I support the Wounded Warrior Project, Hope Clinic (in Ann Arbor, MI), and Illuminations Bible.
My Blue Bird Day Goals
- I would love to obtain more experience in sensory integration, DIR Floortime, and feeding and swallowing.
