In 2013, I graduated from Stockton University with a Bachelor of Science in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology. In 2015, I earned my master’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Stockton University. As a speech-language pathologist, I have worked in private practice, teletherapy and school districts in South Jersey. I hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). In 2015 I became a PECS Level 1 Certified clinician and in 2019, I gained my PROMPT Certification.

I have a passion for working with children and their families to help make them successful communicators. I have made it a priority to work closely and collaborate with a child’s family to ensure carryover of their skills into the home setting. I have experience working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, cognitive impairment, childhood apraxia of speech, fluency disorders, Down Syndrome, Augmentative and Alternative communication, hearing impairment, developmental delays, cerebral palsy, behavioral disorders, neurological impairment, and articulation/phonological disorders. I look forward to working with you and your child and watching their speech and language skills grow!

It is my mission to provide the highest-quality, individualized service so my clients acquire the skills necessary to achieve their communication goals, while having some fun!

As a speech language pathologist, I am dedicated to helping children unlock their communication potential. My passion for helping children overcome communication challenges has flourished through my years of experience across various settings.
