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.
