ABOUT

I was born and raised in Olean, NY. After receiving my bachelor degree from SUNY Fredonia, I moved to Virginia Beach, VA to complete my master degree in Speech-Language Pathology at Old Dominion University. Since graduating in 2019, I have worked with children with speech and language disorders/delays. 

​

It has long been my dream to return to Western NY and open my own practice where I can provide specialized, exceptional, and family-centered services to children and their families in my community. 

​

In the past four years I have completed a significant amount of continuing education and post-graduate training in order to specialize in: Speech Sound Disorders (SSDs), Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), Gestalt Language Processing (GLP), and Early Intervention (EI) for Late Talkers

​

I am passionate about continuing to learn and implement the most current, evidence-based practices and therapeutic techniques. Some of my most notable, advanced post-graduate training includes:

• Childhood Apraxia of Speech Advanced Training Workshop

• Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) Training

• Rapid Syllable Transition Training (ReST)

• PROMPT Trained - Level 1

• Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) Trained Clinician

​

I have received the ASHA Award for Continuing Education (ACE) for completing over 70 hours of post-graduate education with focus in the assessment and treatment of childhood apraxia of speech, speech sound disorders, early intervention/late talkers, and gestalt language processing.
