I possess an M.Sc.A in Speech Language Pathology from McGill University. In my previous clinical experiences as a Speech-Language Pathology student working in pediatric clinics and adult rehabilitation settings I have honed my skills in assessing and treating individuals with communication and swallowing disorders. I have successfully implemented evidence-based practice to develop individualized treatment plans, collaborating closely with patients and their families, and the interdisciplinary teams.
