About Me

I am a bilingual/bicultural pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist. I hold state and national certifications and began my clinical career in 2009 working in early intervention and early childhood special education. Currently, I am a Clinical Associate Professor and teach and supervisor of graduate speech-language students.

 

 I am passionate about sharing my learning and synthesis of related topics to pediatric speech-language service provision. In my teaching, I weave together tenets from Motherhood Studies sociology, perinatal mental health advocacy, matrescence education, and Infant-Toddler Mental Health. I find by adding these elements early intervention SLPs can truly provide the family-centered care described by IDEA.

 

In 2018, at 8 months postpartum after a second child, I began experiencing what I would later learn was postpartum anxiety, and depression. I started reassessing my experience of motherhood as a repeat parent and examining more deeply who I was as a mix-ethnicity woman. My memoir, (Unexpected, Demeter Press, 2023) recounts my experiences with mothering as a first-time mom, past mental health and my identity transformation upon becoming a mother a second time.

Come learn with me how to holistically serve pediatric dyads in your SLP practice or have me come speak to your early intervention agency so we can all best support mothers and their child's communication development.
