I graduated from West Chester University in Pennsylvania with a bachelors in Communication Sciences and Disorders and then earned my master’s degree to become a Speech Language Pathologist from Chapman University in California. After graduating, I returned to Philadelphia where I started working in early intervention, specifically with children ages 3-5. After over a year, I slowly began transitioning into the school-setting. Since then, I have worked at a variety of schools including charter, approved private schools (APS), and cyber schools; always as a contract employee. I have experience being a supporting SLP as well as the primary SLP at a site.

Through these school experiences, I have become knowledgeable in using IEPWriter to track and write legal documents as well as use it for daily notes through STAR. I understand that eligibility is not just about an assessment value, but more so an overview of the student’s ability to access the general education curriculum.

Over the years, I have employed a variety of methods to create relationships and keep in contact with valued team members including face-to-face conversation, phone calls, email, and video calls. Maintaining open-lines of communication within the IEP team is one of my biggest goals in order to ensure everyone is on the same page for the students.

Creating Talk Together allows me to continue being apart of the treatment process while providing therapists with the supportive tools they need to flourish in their field. I am excited to work with therapists and schools to create a union that will support our students everyday.
