I bring a diverse background of skills and experiences to my role as a speech pathologist. In 2000, I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, which laid the foundation for my understanding of language. Afterward, I pursued my creative interests as a performer and artist before feeling a strong pull back to my passion for speech and language.

Initially, I taught English as a Foreign Language, both in Australia and abroad. This journey ultimately led me to complete a Master’s in Speech Pathology at the University of Queensland in 2008. Since then, I have focused on supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and their families, using play-based and relationship-based interventions to foster communication and connection.

My strong interests lie in voice therapy and accent modification. To enhance my expertise in this area, I have undertaken Estill voice training, drawing on my skills as a singer and language teacher to create engaging therapeutic experiences.

In addition to my professional pursuits, I am a proud mother of two, a dedicated gardener, and an occasional performer. My multifaceted experiences contribute to my empathetic approach as a speech pathologist, allowing me to connect with clients and families effectively while helping them navigate their unique communication journeys. I am truly passionate about supporting individuals in developing their communication skills and enhancing their overall quality of life.
