My journey into speech pathology began when my father heard Rosie speaking on local radio about one of her projects. Knowing my passion for languages and reading, he downloaded the podcast and sent it to me. Little did I know that just a few years later, I would be working alongside that very same Rosie at Speech Pathology Tasmania!

After completing my degree in arts and science in Hobart, I moved to Adelaide to complete my Master of Speech Pathology at Flinders University in 2021. At university, I had the opportunity to study the Indonesian language in Indonesia and teach English there. This experience inspired me to provide English tutoring to international students of all ages. I also completed levels 1-3 of community-level Auslan through Expression Australia and Sign Language Australia.

In my final year of study, I was thrilled to accept a position at Speech Pathology Tasmania, where I work as a generalist speech pathologist. I particularly enjoy working with school-age children and teenagers to enhance their literacy and communication skills. I have a strong interest in helping individuals with autism develop their communication and language, and working with multilingual clients.

Outside of my professional life, I love bushwalking, swimming, and reading, and I’m always eager to learn new languages. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a welcoming, caring, and knowledgeable team at Speech Pathology Tasmania.
