ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I am a bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist specializing in supporting young children with emotional and behavioural challenges. With both clinical and lived experience in neurodivergence, I am deeply committed to fostering children's communication skills, in collaboration with their parents. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, drawing, baking, playing the piano, reading, and traveling.
