My Story
Before I got into this field, my family had the opportunity to care for foster children within our home through a crisis foster organization in Chicago. Going from caring for children with complex medical and developmental needs within my own home to pursuing a career treating communication disorders in children seemed like a natural transition. During my graduate studies at Northwestern University, I discovered my passion for working with children with a variety of communication disorders in both group and individual settings. I had the unique experience to collaborate on a multidisciplinary team as a part of Northwestern’s Developmental Diagnostic Program to evaluate children ages birth to 3 for developmental delay and autism spectrum disorder. I believe that the ability to collaborate effectively with other specialties and a client’s family is a crucial part of providing effective therapy.
