Why did you decide to become an SLP? I became a Speech-Language Pathologist because I’ve always been fascinated by how communication shapes who we are and how we connect with others. I wanted a career that allowed me to support people in finding their voice—whether that’s helping a child say their first words, improving someone’s confidence in expressing themselves, or giving families tools to communicate more effectively. I love that the field combines science and empathy, and every day offers an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in someone’s life.

What is your SLP superpower? My SLP superpower is connecting with kids through their world. I stay up to date on video games, comics, and all the latest kid trends, which helps me build instant rapport and keep sessions fun and engaging. Whether it’s using a game character to motivate language goals or weaving a child’s favorite superhero into therapy activities, I find ways to make learning feel natural and exciting. That connection not only keeps them motivated but also helps build trust—so they’re more willing to take risks and grow in their communication skills.

What do you like to do for fun? I love reading, gaming, and watching anime—they keep me creative and help me connect with kids through their interests. I also enjoy exercising and fishing, which keep me patient and balanced—two things that definitely help me as an SLP!

What do you love about TeamUp Therapy? What I love about TeamUp Therapy is the positive, collaborative environment. It really feels like a place where administrators and therapists support each other and work together to help clients reach their goals. I also appreciate that TeamUp values creativity and flexibility—it’s clear they put clients first while also caring about their team’s well-being. It’s the kind of environment where both clients and therapists can grow.
