Speech-language pathologist

As a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, I specialize in voice rehabilitation, fluency, cognitive-communication disorders, and dysphagia. My background in singing and voice teaching enhances my approach to voice therapy, allowing me to integrate both artistic and clinical perspectives. I serve as a faculty clinical supervisor with the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders and provide clinical services at both the University Health Partners Speech & Hearing Clinic and Straub Medical Center. My work is rooted in evidence-based practice, ensuring individualized and effective care for my clients.
