Work History:
During my time at Purdue University, I had the opportunity to work in a variety of clinical settings including the following: a university clinic, inpatient and outpatient hospitals, an ENT office, and an elementary school. I worked with individuals aged 2-79 years old. Through these opportunities, I enhanced my clinical skills in a variety of different areas, including evaluation and treatment of speech, language, voice, social communication, cognitive-communication, literacy, and swallowing disorders. I also gained experience working with AAC devices and with children who are deaf and hardof- hearing while completing my medical externship. I moved to Myrtle Beach after graduating and am currently completing my clinical fellowship year. I am so grateful for the opportunity to support children and families at Young Talkers and help my patients to reach their communication goals.

Specialized Training:
Interprofessional Education for Supporting High Intensity Needs of Exceptional Students
(IPE-SHINES)
While at Purdue University, I participated in an interdisciplinary preparation training grant designed to address a national need for highly skilled speech language pathologists and board-certified behavior analysts to provide high-quality, evidenced-based services for children with high intensity needs across a wide variety of settings. As a part of this training, I completed interprofessional clinical practical and interdisciplinary coursework with students in the applied behavior analysis program, including an introductory training in the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedules
(ADOS-2).
