I am a dedicated speech language pathologist, driven by a profound interest in the transformative power of communication. My journey began at California State University Long Beach, where I cultivated my fascination with speech and language therapy, ultimately earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in communicative disorders.

Taking my commitment to the next level, I pursued and successfully completed my Master of Arts degree in Speech Language Pathology at San Jose State University. Throughout my academic journey, I delved into the intricate realm of children’s therapy, discovering a special calling to make a difference in their lives.

My professional odyssey has taken me through diverse settings, from schools and early intervention programs to clinical environments and telehealth. Embracing the evolving landscape of my field, I have recently transitioned into a supervisory role, eager to contribute to the growth and development of emerging professionals.

As a speech language pathologist, my greatest joy lies in guiding students and clients of all ages on a journey of self-discovery and improvement in their communication skills. Witnessing the positive impact on their interactions with family, friends, and the community is truly fulfilling. Every moment of my career has been a learning experience, reinforcing my belief in the power of communication to help children embrace life and live it to the fullest.
