Speech-language pathologist

As a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with the Hawaii Department of Education, I serve a diverse caseload of over 40 children with communication challenges. My extensive background in singing and voice teaching fuels my deep passion for voice rehabilitation, allowing me to bring a unique perspective to my practice. During my externships at Tripler Army Medical Center and the VA, I gained invaluable experience in cognitive rehabilitation, voice and fluency therapy, as well as acute care for neurogenic and swallowing disorders. My ultimate goal is to work as a medical SLP in Oahu, where I aspire to provide holistic, evidence-based care that truly meets the needs of my clients.
