CITADEL

I lived in Kamloops and Calgary as a child until moving to Victoria at 10 years old where I lived for 15 years before moving to Vancouver. I currently live in Mount Pleasant where I am lucky enough to be within walking distance of the beautiful seawall and many great restaurants in the area. I enjoy exploring different areas of the lower mainland, reading, and challenging myself with new activities which currently include relearning piano, running, and golfing.

 

I received a Bachelor of Science in Linguistics at the University of Victoria which led me to pursue my Master's in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of British Columbia. Through my previous work as a behaviour interventionist and Speech-Language Pathology Assistant, as well as during my graduate externship opportunities, I have worked with children with a variety of needs including Autism Spectrum Disorder, language delay, AAC, fluency disorders, phonological disorders, Childhood Apraxia of Speech, Cerebral Palsy, and rare genetic disorders.

 

I am passionate about working with children with diverse needs. I firmly believe in the importance of collaborating with families and establishing meaningful connections to ensure that each child receives personalized support. I strive to create a fun and engaging environment for the child while integrating evidence-based therapy approaches that align with the values of their family. By actively involving families in therapy sessions, they can develop the necessary skills and knowledge to continue supporting their child's progress beyond our time together.

 

I am committed to making a positive difference in the lives of the children and families I work with. Together, we can empower each child to reach their full potential and develop skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.
