Why did you decide to become an SLP? I always knew I wanted to go into healthcare, but wasn’t sure what that looked like for me. Before my senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to shadow STs, OTs, and PTs at a pediatric therapy clinic for a week. After observing a speech therapy session there, something “clicked” and I knew I had found my future career! I was drawn to a job that allowed me to build relationships with others, collaborate with other professionals and families, and have fun all while helping children communicate and build their confidence!

What is your SLP superpower? Flexibility and creativity! Any item or activity can be used as a therapy opportunity, and I love challenging myself to be creative in finding ways to use a child’s specific interests to target a variety of goals.

What do you love about TeamUp Therapy? I love that TeamUp is able to reach patients who may not have access to therapy services otherwise. I also love being able to work with other therapists who are positive and passionate about the field and making a difference for children and their families!
