Welcome to my virtual resume! I have worked with a wide range of students, professionals, and specialists from all over the world as an international school educator for the past 15 years in the US, Cambodia, Philippines, & Colombia. The majority of my professional experiences have been providing speech pathology services to students and families that need my expertise. However, I have also worked as an ESL teacher in Cambodia, a 1st grade teacher/literacy support in the Philippines, and learned/collaborated with a wide range of professionals all over the world. This has only added to my knowledge and capacity to help support families. I’m excited to support a new group of children and families as a virtual speech therapist.
