What inspired you to become a speechie?
I actually went to several sessions of speech therapy to target my speech sound development as a young child and always had good memories from my time as a client. Fast forward to my final years of high school, I was looking to go to uni to study and get a job that would be fulfilling, rewarding and would help others. I came across the option of speech pathology and reflected on my experience of it and how much it impacted me. I really loved the idea of helping others communicate and participate functionally at school and in the community too! It is such a privilege to be able to help people like this and I’m so grateful I went for it.

Who do you like to work with?
I really enjoy working with a variety of clients – babies, preschool age, school age and adolescents! I also love working within a disability caseload and supporting my clients to communicate independently, build friendships, and achieve their goals. The clinical areas I am most passionate about include early language development, literacy, and speech sound disorders.
